I can't think of a better expression of humanity than standing in solidarity with your peers as they confront state violence in opposition to genocide.
Today students held a rally to ask for my reinstatement and this counter-demonstrator showed up. Please note how much care the police show. I can guarantee if the tables were turned we would receive administration emails of condemnations and punitive sanctions.
Update:
The VP of student and campus life, Ryan Lombardi, rejected my appeal after one business day. This demonstrates once again that my ability to stay in this country is being hastily handled without due process in a continued attempt to silence me.
I have until 5pm tomorrow to appeal to the provost. If the provost rejects this appeal, then I believe my withdrawal will be processed and I will promptly have to leave the country.
Once again, there has been no investigation, nor have I had a chance to even respond to the allegations against me. I maintain that all my actions have been peaceful and in accordance with my First Amendment rights.
This is a deliberate targeting of a Black Muslim student at an institution where those two identities are increasingly unwelcome. When it comes to Palestine the university will abandon all commitments to academic freedom and free speech to protect its corporate interests.
@GaribaldoValdez A drink at the Terrace! For student vibes, hit any food carts on State St (by Memorial Library). The Old Fashioned, on the square for good cheese curds. La Taguara, Alchemy Cafe, or Ohio Tavern, on the East Side. Buraka, or Weary Traveler on Willy St. Finca Coffee!
This is what happens when you don’t read beyond the established canons. Not only will you provide an ahistorical account by erasing decades of scholarship published elsewhere, but you will also empty the political content of radical theories situated in struggles for liberation.
I officially defended my dissertation, Making Extraordinary Men: Race Leadership Education in a Nonprofit Collegiate Black Male Initiative. I am grateful to my committee for their support. Next stop: Visiting Assistant Professor of Education at Brown University!
