NYU’s unprecedented year-long suspension of nonviolent protesters in good standing is a pernicious weaponization of policy, tarnishing its global reputation and undermining free speech.
It reflects the ongoing “Palestine exception” to free speech on campus, also highlighted in yesterday’s press release from the NYCLU condemning NYU’s transformation of its non-discrimination and anti-harassment policy to stifle speech on Palestine.
Following on the heels of widespread public condemnation of NYU’s arrests & declaration of a number of its own faculty as Persona Non Grata (PNG), the university’s admin. is once again setting a shameful precedent w/ this mass suspension of students protesting an ongoing genocide.
