Professors can’t stay silent about this extremist moment on campuses

I've seen little evidence that these sorts of protests are broadly representative of what goes on at universities.

There are more than 15 million college students in the US, even dozens and dozens of absurd protests isn't evidence of much.

Agreed. Where is the modern equivalent of the Weather Underground and their bombing campaign? Or the Symbionese Liberation Army and their bank robberies, murders and kidnapping?

What modern actions are like the bombing of Sterling Hall?

And those weren't anywhere close to representative of the anti-war movement in the 1960/1970.
