Historians for Palestine: Thank you for voting at #AHA25. We are fundraising today on behalf of the Sameer Project for journalists fighting to keep historical record in Gaza.
Suggested donation is $25 for 2025! chuffed.org/project/support-…
During the student encampment, .@UChicago made a written promise to announce and implement the Gaza Scholars at Risk Initiative to support scholars impacted by the US-Israel genocide of Palestinians in Gaza. Join us Dec 3, 3:15 pm outside Stuart Hall to help make this happen!
Prof. Eman Abdelhadi (@emanabdelhadi) in Comparative Human Development calls on UChicago to create a Gaza Scholars at Risk Program. The University, complicit in the Israeli genocide of Palestinians in Gaza, could at minimum provide safe haven. #UCGazaScholarsNow ! #FreePalestine
FSJP demands that the University of Chicago reverse course with regard to the Arab student who was removed from student housing on Oct 21. This is part of a crackdown on free expression and protest at the University of Chicago. #FreePalestine fjpuchicago.noblogs.org/post…
Press Release: FSJP denounces police violence against university students, faculty, staff, and community members on October 11. Above all, we commend our students' moral courage and echo their call for divestment from all Israeli institutions. fjpuchicago.noblogs.org/post…

Israel is using Crown family-owned, US-made General Dynamics BLU-109 bombs in its atrocious bombing campaign of Beirut and South Lebanon. This is a US-funded, US-armed Israeli crime against thousands of civilians in Lebanon. .@UChicago Divest now! washingtonpost.com/world/202…

@UChicago received a $100M grant for "free expression". Meanwhile, students have filed a civil rights complaint against the administration after months of speech suppression and anti-Palestinian racism. palestinelegal.org/news/2024…

🔥🔥"In effect, then, your argument is that my obligation to refuse being implicated in 'drumming on buckets' outweighs my obligation to refuse being financially and institutionally implicated in the forced starvation of Gaza's children. That is an appalling moral calculus." 🔥🔥
This morning I and other students received notice from Jeremy Inabinet, Ass. Dean of Students, that @UChicago will pursue disciplinary action against us for having "occup[ied] space on the main quad" during last month's encampment. Sent this response to Jeremy and other admin:

"We cannot build movements for solidarity and abundance if we do not fight against the carceral state—it will always stand against us." - @jbenmenachem and @tripeggertv2 thenation.com/article/archiv…
'The recent fixation on the “disruptive” nature of student protests & encampments fails to account for the fact that war & genocide are profoundly disruptive.' Thank you, Prof El Shakry, for this searing contribution to @CriticalInquiry's series on Palestine, protest, & UChicago
"In less than twenty-four hours, we were faced with the stark contrast between a punitive university culture of policing dissent and a popular university built on communities of care and . . . freedom for all." Read Hoda El Shakry's post on the CI blog.

Thank you, Chicago alders, for supporting our students!

16 Chicago Aldermen have signed a letter to support the four seniors whose degrees UChicago has unjustly withheld.
You can send your own letter demanding UChicago let them graduate here: bit.ly/write4grads
Thank you, @ACLUofIL, for your wisdom. Let them graduate + #FreePalestine.

The highest elected member of faculty governance at UChicago agrees: PROCEDURAL NON-COMPLIANCE ON THE PART OF THE UNIVERSITY ADMINISTRATION IN RELATION TO THE WITHHOLDING OF DEGREES OF FOUR UNDERGRADUATES.
Let them graduate! No punishment for peaceful protest! #FreePalestine
This quoted post is unavailable.
Thank you, @pal_legal. We agree: Let our students graduate; no punishment for peaceful protest!
As the state of Israel carries out scholasticide in Gaza, we are grateful to our students for leading the way toward divestment, disclosure, & repair #FreePalestine
THREAD: Tell @UChicago, no withholding degrees for supporting Palestinian freedom! nitter.gq/halfmoonpoem/status/17…
⬇️One of our FJP members takes aim, in the Chronicle of Higher Education, at the narrow and self-serving appeal to neutrality that UChicago admin & others have used to stymie student speech and disavow responsibility for their actions ⬇️

WHY IS UNIVERSITY DIVESTMENT IMPORTANT? NYT reports that bombs used on Rafah 5/26 were made by Woodward Inc., a CO aerospace manufacturer. Woodward stock is part of the Vanguard International Equity Index fund in which UChicago has now invested $6,720,500. nytimes.com/2024/05/29/world…
Upset & disturbed to find out that UChicago is suddenly, as of yesterday, preventing 4 of our students from graduating!
