This is a balanced and nuanced analysis of the protests. The Student-Led Protests Aren’t Perfect. That Doesn’t Mean They’re Not Right. nytimes.com/2024/04/26/opi…
My statement on the peaceful student protests.
Prior to 2020 uprising its been clear that police violence is structural, institutional, and not about "bad apples." The presumed guilt of people of color and the way Whiteness works in society means for this insight to register for some they must see themselves being brutalized.
Dear administrators who have few personal dealings w/ police, Police will not keep campus safe. They bring violence, injury & escalation (and later lawsuits). You still can listen & dialogue with students. Sincerely, Someone who has studied criminal law & policing for 22 years.
Just a reminder, free speech is a value as well as a legal principle. There are plenty of things colleges are doing right now that are totally legal and would stand up in court, but which don't sufficiently respect free speech as a value. They are two different things.
As the protest movement increases in Boston, it's important to know your rights when it comes to protest. From @NLGnews: nlg.org/know-your-righ…
reminder: hate speech is not a legal category and calling something hate speech does not remove it from the first amendment a hate crime is when you commit a crime and your motivation was hate b/c of a protected characteristic; it isn't the same thing as hate speech
Everyone experiencing a health emergency should be able to get the care they need — including an abortion — without political interference.
Free speech rights in higher ed: what students should know: bostonlawyerblog.com/back-to-school… #freespeech #protest #CampusProtests
I wish that this statement had more to say about due process principles (which @TheFIREorg has consistently supported in #TitleIX cases). I'm very disturbed by the kind of summary procedures that seem to be happening in the college disciplinary space right now.
STATEMENT: FIRE is monitoring outbreaks of violence and arrests on campuses nationwide. Sadly, we must again restate a bedrock principle: Violence is never acceptable. Colleges and universities must ensure the swift arrest of anyone engaging in violence on campus, whether…
While my alma mater and other unis try to out carceral the other, the students organizing for Palestine remind us quite powerfully "that college is not a waiting room to enter the real world, but that you can start transforming that world, right here, right now.” -Ruha Benjamin
Friend just sent me a video of them barricading Cadman Plaza at NYU where the demonstrations took place yesterday.
At every Seder I’ve ever been to we have reckoned with the death of the first born sons of Egypt. Felt the pain of that loss even from our oppressors. This is a lesson we should be focusing on this year while Israel dehumanizes Palestinians for Hamas’ crimes
Arrests at #Columbia #NYU #Yale highlight the deeply entrenched neoliberal discourse of individual responsibility and criminalization that protects the university’s accumulation of wealth. Scenes of Protests Spread at Elite Campuses nytimes.com/2024/04/22/nyr…
On Saturday, I voted against sending more offensive weapons to Israel in part because it would signal support for an expanded invasion of Rafah. The US cannot continue to be complicit in the destruction of Palestinian life in Gaza.
Israeli strikes on southern Gaza city of Rafah kill 18 ow.ly/6WJO105q9Om

I filed amendments to de-escalate & save lives by: —Surging global humanitarian aid (including to Gaza, Ukraine, & Haiti) —Stopping the U.S. from sending offensive weapons to the Israeli military for one year. Every action we take must be in pursuit of peace.
As my employer - @Columbia University - calls armed riot police into campus to smash a peaceful protest against a genocide, we must all speak out. My former students have been arrested. I'm proud of you. History will be too. Remember what I said in our first class last year:
Stunned that @Columbia's president would term the students engaged in a sit-in on a campus lawn "a clear and present danger to the substantial functioning of the University." I taught my classes w/ no problem despite the encampment. Letter to NYPD publicsafety.columbia.edu/content/letter…
“So admin, what are you going to do?” the Spectator editorial board asks in criticism of Shafik’s handling of campus activism following her April 17 congressional hearing. “Suspend more students until your entire student population falls into line?” l8r.it/HBc2
New #TitleIX regulations are out and effective Aug. 1. As expected, they eliminate the live hearing requirement for most institutions. Some form of credibility testing is required but it need not be a hearing with questioning by advisors. www2.ed.gov/about/offices/…
