The U.S. District Court of Arizona denied twenty student protesters' lawsuit seeking to lift their suspension from Arizona State University.
A judge in Arizona has denied a motion that would have lifted the suspension of twenty students arrested last week amid anti-Israel protests. The U.S. District Court for the District of Arizona denied the Arizona State University students' motion to have their college suspensions lifted on Friday, according to local outlet ABC 15.
The students, who are charged with trespassing, also alleged that the suspensions violate their First Amendment rights. Approximately 72 individuals were arrested on Apr. 26 and taken into custody while continuing protests on the Arizona State University campus. Police officers cleared the Old Main lawn area overnight — those arrested included both students and faculty.
Another institution of higher learning in the state — the University of Arizona — is embroiled in its own struggle to suppress protesters occupying areas of the campus. University president Robert C. Robbins said in a May 1 statement that he directed university officials, campus police, Tucson Police and the Pima County Sheriff's Office to 'immediately enforce campus use policies and all corresponding laws without further warning.
