I am glad that the OP raised this issue because my son, a prospective fall matriculant, happens to be doing an overnight at Swat later this week. We are Jewish and I was somewhat concerned after reading the original post. I am lucky that my older son, a Swat grad, is home on break from grad school. He was very active within the Hillel organization while he was on campus. I showed him the Daily Gazette editorials this morning and he said that while on campus he never experienced any sort of hostility between groups. Demonstrations of all sorts, yes. But, it didn’t carry over into day-to-day interactions.
