The forum began with questions about the decision by the Black Students Association (BSA) to invite Jeffries to campus.
A white student expressed "disappointment" that the BSA "hadn't spoken to Jewish students on campus" about the invitation. Jeffries has made a number of statements that have been called anti-Semitic.
The issue of Black students' applauding Jeffries at the speech was also brought up.
A white speaker asked why, if there was only "selective applause" for Jeffries, there was not "selective condemnation" as well.
"I think you have to take the Jewish community's word for it that Jeffries is extremely, extremely offensive," another white participant said.
