More than 300 Harvard faculty members sent a letter to interim Harvard President Alan M. Garber on Tuesday urging “constructive dialogue” with the “peaceful protesters” who have occupied Harvard Yard. The letter comes a day after Garber sent a public email warning that protesters who didn’t leave the Yard could face an involuntary leave of absence.
Instead, the administration has issued escalating threats of punitive disciplinary action, the severity of which the university has not seen in decades. We urge the administration to meet and engage in meaningful dialogue with peacefully protesting students.” The unsanctioned group Harvard Out of Occupied Palestine, who are occupying the Yard, gave school administrators until Monday evening to begin negotiating with student protest leaders, but did not receive a response.
