Palestine Legal Condemns Wave of Campus Anti-Protest Policies Intended To Suppress Student Activism
The stakes have gone up this fall for students protesting Israel’s genocide in Gaza. Across the U.S., colleges are rolling out new anti-protest policies in an attempt to prevent a repeat of last spring’s historic wave of student activism calling on universities to disclose and divest from financial ties to Israel.
The underlying goal of these new policies is clear: to restrict, repress, or outright ban student protests.
Palestine Legal remains dedicated to supporting the student movement. We are working to ensure that students know their rights in this quickly evolving environment and have support if they do face repression.
