If you participate in a public event you can’t really expect to keep that activity secret. (One could also argue that the fact you want to indicates you feel there is something wrong about your actions) I wouldn’t really say this is doxing, since that usually refers to revealing a private online identity.

This is an inane argument. If one were to, for example, attend a public protest of Scientology, one might rightly fear for one's safety and be entirely convinced that one is in the right, regardless. Might, or fear thereof, does not make right.

#23Earlier quoted context omitted.
I haven't seen a shred of evidence that these protestors are violent, or that they harass members of campuses, as they are said to do. Then you need start reading from more diverse sources. Just in the past week, for example - there's Khymani James, still currently front and center within the protest movement at Columbia, who was recorded earlier in the year saying "Zionists don't deserve to live" and "You shouldn't…
and some (all?) of these assholes are agent provocateurs, just like in the 60s, which a previous poster alluded to.

These people are putting their bodies on the line. It is a public protest. I cannot infer anything other than that they’re willing to risk everything, including their privacy to defend their ideas.

Per the article: people who were not involved in any of the protesting and who hadn't made any statements were falsely named as anti-semites. I'd say thats doxxing - what do you call it?

#26> The student, who did not wish to be identified for fairly obvious reasons, said her name was listed on the truck because a club she was no longer a part of had signed onto an open letter urging Columbia to cut ties with Israel. So she signed an open letter, but didn't want her name to be attached to it? Isn't that the whole point of an open letter? And then she has the opportunity to speak with the press, and asks…

She once was a member of an organization.
She left that organization.
After she left that organization, the members (no longer including her) signed a letter.
She didn't sign it, since she was no longer a member.
So how is it OK that she was named as a signatory?
I don't know what's going on with people who use the term "these kids".

#30The effect of this is going to be employers quietly blackballing all graduates of universities that get into the news for these protests.
