CAIR urges 400+ university leaders to stop targeting anti-genocide activists
The Council on American-Islamic Relations has called out the complicity of university leaders in enabling recent Islamophobia and anti-Palestinian racism.
A report by the nation’s largest Muslim advocacy group exposes how universities have suppressed advocacy for Palestinian human rights.
It documents incidents from October 2023, revealing universities’ support for attacks on these communities with minimal consequences.
CAIR has sent the report to more than 400 university leaders, urging them to cease silencing protesters and combat bigotry against Palestinian, Muslim, and Arab students.
It emphasizes the importance of universities engaging in constructive dialogue with protesters instead of resorting to police violence and disciplinary measures.
CAIR Research and Advocacy Director Corey Saylor condemned the use of force, emphasizing the need for universities to respect students’ rights and address their legitimate demands.
