#studentprotests — Public Fediverse posts

"Since the beginning of world-wide #campusProtests in the wake of October 7, 2023, there has been a tremendous upswell of organizing and support for #PalestinianLiberation and #activism against #USmilitarism. In response, a wave of #repression against students, staff and faculty on campus began in 2023 and accelerated after Donald Trump took office."

'Terms like “quislings,” “Thermidor,” “Vichy,” and “submission” have circulated widely in articles denouncing #Columbia’s surrender, zeroing in on betrayal as the proper note to strike. But it is not really betrayal when those committing the action have no investment in the principles betrayed.'

#S937: Barring #StudentProtesters from #FederalLoans and #LoanForgiveness

"Would exclude student protesters from federal financial aid and loan forgiveness if they commit any crime at a campus protest. The bill would cover someone convicted of 'any offense' under 'any Federal or State law” that is “related to the individual’s conduct at and during the course of a protest' at a college or university. As such, a student convicted of even a nonviolent, state law misdemeanor at a campus protest, such as failing to disperse, would be deemed ineligible for federal student loans; they would also be ineligible for having existing federal loans forgiven, cancelled, waived or modified. The sponsor of the bill said it was a response to #ProPalestine protests at colleges and universities.

A total of 46 people were arrested for trespassing, but the Manhattan District Attorney’s office is dismissing 31 of the cases due to lack of evidence. Another 14 people were told their cases would be dropped if they do not get arrested in the next six months (conditional dismissal). The one..."

"Dear members of the University community,

"The University administration respects all student protests, just not this one. Students have fought for many important causes over the years, and their right to protest is sacrosanct. In this case, however, we must arrest and slander them.

“We will not look back and regret this decision. Although we were wrong about not admitting women, abolitioning racial quotas, US involvement in Vietnam, and divesting from apartheid South Africa, we are confident that this time is different."
