Harvard College suspended the Harvard Undergraduate Palestine Solidarity Committee and ordered the group to “cease all organizational activities for the remainder of the Spring 2024 term” or risk permanent expulsion, according to an email obtained by The Crimson.
The suspension comes amid a wave of pro-Palestine student demonstrations across the country, with students staging occupations at universities including Columbia and Yale Universities. Though there have not been occupations at Harvard this semester, the University restricted access to Harvard Yard on Sunday in anticipation of student protests.
I was ok with private universities until this point–they were worthy of ignoring because so much of the good research comes out of well-funded public universities. It’s now become clear that they are beholden ONLY to their donors and any scholarship or academics are secondary and we should no longer support/put up with them.
