George Mason and the Gulf War
Subject
GMU/Gulf War
Description
During the Gulf War in 1991, the general attitude at George Mason University was one of discussion and analysis rather than widespread activism. Unlike the Vietnam War era, there were fewer large-scale protests. Instead, faculty members, particularly in government and politics, engaged in examining the geopolitical and military aspects of the conflict. Professor Mark Katz and others provided insights into U.S. strategy and Middle Eastern affairs, fostering academic discussions on campus. While some students supported the war, others questioned U.S. involvement, leading to debates in classrooms and student forums. Overall, the university served as a space for dialogue rather than activism during this time.
