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.
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?
This is the key reason: doxxing here has the glaringly obvious purpose of harassing the protesters. Nevertheless, while vile and immoral, and double so when it's likely a propaganda operation, it's a risk protesters should be willing to take, along with unlawful use of force. It has been this way historically.
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. The unbelievably harsh response from the universities and the state, which included forced dispersion by the police, roof snipers at Indiana University, and threats to call in the national guard by the Speaker of the House Mike Johnson at Columbia, has led me to feel incredibly depressed. I feel that we are reaching a schism in the history of the United States, where liberalism is dying and being replaced by... something else.

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 be surprised to see me murdering Zionists":
that's a pretty terrible example considering the COINTELPRO program with the FBI sending letters to MLK trying to get him to kill himself and assassinating people.
> 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 not to be identified while saying she no longer wants to be associated with the letter?
If you are in public you have no right to privacy, especially if you break laws and misbehave. This has been exhaustively debated, The Verge should know better.

Might, or fear thereof, does not make right.

And the assault on Israeli activist Yoseph Haddad by an identified member of the local activist community:

In general the right wing vastly overexaggerates the violent aspects of the protest movement. But beyond question it has its share of assholes.

I don't know what's going on with these kids.
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".
I recommend reading Ted Kaczynski's writing on oversocialization [1].

Maybe I misread, but if you actually look at the letter, it's a Google form where individuals are encouraged to sign: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1RcXX5DEO3yfJ9R4ksURnzpIP...
If you do not know, maybe you should learn first before making assumptions.
You have probably missed in the article:
> ...said her name was listed on the truck because a club she was no longer a part of had signed onto an open letter...
