A University of Michigan proposal aimed at deterring disruptions on its Ann Arbor campus after anti-Israel protesters interrupted an honors convocation is sparking backlash from free speech advocates
. Violations of the policy, which has yet to be implemented, could result in suspension or expulsion for students and termination for university staff. The March 24 protest by groups calling for the school to divest from companies linked to Israel is among a number of demonstrations on college campuses across the United States in which students and organizations have taken sides — in support of Palestinians or of Israel — as Israel continues its 6-month-long war in Gaza against Hamas.
” The policy, if enacted as is, would apply to all students, employees, contractors, volunteers and visitors who engage in disruptive activity. “We will not shy away from protecting the values we hold dear,” Ono wrote in a follow-up letter to the campus community. “Those who participate in disruptive activity will be held accountable.” Michigan sophomore Annabel Bean said the school appears to be trying to limit and repress student protests.
