This is terrifying, violent behavior. Campuses are not police states. @UCLA stop militarizing our workplace, cease and desist from using police violence against students and employees.
"Roy thus emerges as a major theorist of fascism, democracy, and contemporary forms of empire, with implications not just for India but for the world at large." @pocothought on Arundhati Roy's political activism through her nonfiction. https://t.co/cR0HAHWc6x
Here is another statement by UCLA faculty, this time from members of the Dept of English condemning the university’s police raid on the student protest encampment & its inaction against violent mobs attacking student protesters.
STATEMENT FROM BESIEGED UCLA PALESTINE SOLIDARITY ENCAMPMENT
The only means of protection we had was each other. WE KEEP US SAFE.
The university’s hypocrisy
all too apparent. The university would rather see us dead than divest.
Call on UCLA to disclose, divest, end the silence
Every night at UCLA, Zionist mobs enact terror on student protesters who are peacefully gathered inside their encampment. They do so with impunity. In the meantime, campus messaging criminalizes & penalizes student protesters. Shame on my university.
In amazing company for Yogita Goyal’s edited collection on contemporary African American literature, just out from @CambridgeUP. Check out the TOC for yourself — https://t.co/QPOIHwbr4M
