“The interim exclusion from campus prohibited Plaintiffs from engaging in First Amendment protected activity on campus and outside of the classroom,” the lawsuit stated.
Pro-Palestinian protesters marched through CU Boulder’s campus before stopping in front of Norlin Library on Wednesday, May 1, 2024. Two students sued the University of Colorado on Monday, alleging school leaders violated their free speech and due process rights by temporarily barring them from the Boulder campus after they participated in a peaceful pro-Palestine protest at a university job fair.
Sophomore Rosenfeld and Inman, a December graduate who plans to pursue graduate studies, were members of Students for Justice in Palestine, a national organization with more than 350 groups on college campuses across the country. The CU chapter was registered as an official student group in 2023. Around 10 students plus Rosenfeld and Inman walked into the job fair held inside the University Memorial Center’s Glenn Miller Ballroom.
The day after the protest, the university placed the student group in bad standing, effectively barring SJP from operating as a recognized student organization. Defendant Devin Cramer, CU Boulder’s dean of students and associate vice chancellor for student affairs, filed a police report against the two students, the lawsuit said.
