JOHN JAY STUDENTS!
Classes start soon and we hope everyone is prepared to come back for another great academic semester! The executives of Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) at John Jay have been organizing the activities planned for this semester and we hope you are all ready for what is planned!
See everyone soon and enjoy the last few days of summer vacation!
“The incident is only the latest in which officials at UC Irvine and other major universities around the country have taken harsh measures against pro-Palestinian activists. “There is a really ugly history of targeting student groups advocating for Palestinian issues,” says Liz Jackson, a staff attorney with Palestine Legal, a group that provides legal advice and advocacy to individuals in the U.S. advocating for Palestinian rights. “It suppresses the really important debates about U.S. foreign policy that young people need to be having. Instead of being able to engage freely and voice opinions that challenge the status quo, one side of the debate is just being crushed.”
The school’s chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine is now facing the possibility of being banned from the campus. In addition, the university referred their cases to the district attorney for criminal investigation.
Over 1000 faculty members take a stand against blacklisting and the repression of Palestine student activism. Thank you to all of the CUNY faculty represented on this list! #CanaryMission
