College editorial boards slam officials’ response to pro-Palestinian protests
Student editorial boards across the country are speaking out against college officials’ actions directed at pro-Palestinian protests.
Campus newspapers have been reporting daily on debates over free speech and university investments in Israel, which has killed over 30,000 Palestinians since October, and is accused of genocide.
Editorial boards have criticized administrators for their response to protests, defending students’ right to speak out.
They have highlighted concerns about harassment and doxing, arguing they threaten free speech.
Recent editorials include the Columbia Daily Spectator’s critique of the university president’s decision to involve police in clearing a pro-Palestinian encampment.
The editorial accused the administration of failing to engage with students and fostering a climate of distrust and fear.
By calling in police, officials have been seen as compromising campus safety and stifling free expression.
