CUNY Classes Begin With Divestment Win

August 30, 2025 Maria Aurelio, Left Voice. Resist! Campus Movement, CUNY, Divestment, Israel, Palestine, Retaliation

A new semester is beginning at the City University of New York (CUNY) with the fight against repression and for Palestine at the center. While we are facing intense crackdowns, including the firing of four faculty members over their pro-Palestine activism and the suspension of at least one student, there is also a movement fighting back. Amid these attacks, we’ve also had victories — most recently, a court decision forcing CUNY to disclose its investments in Israel. As Israel escalates its genocidal campaign in Gaza, including a famine, with full support from the U.S. government, CUNY has targeted faculty who speak out against it. This comes as President Trump intensifies his attacks on immigrants, mobilizes the National Guard in major cities, and escalates a broader assault on democratic rights.

Students Urge George Washington University Not To Capitulate To Trump

We, the students, write to you at a critical moment of GW’s institutional path and the future of education in the United States. As students, we demand the protection of our collective right to pursue our education without the fascist interference of the Trump administration. The White House is waging war against colleges and universities across the country, and as we witness the consequences from the institutions already targeted, we are aware of the fate of our education and well-being should GW decide to give in. The DOJ has already placed the fate of international students at other schools in jeopardy, threatening to report them to DHS and the State Department.

Student Expulsions Over Palestine Protest Are Extreme And Unjustified

August 10, 2025 Open Letter, Mondoweiss. Resist! Campus Movement, Higher Education, Repression, Retaliation, Student Activism

We write this letter in alarm, as parents of students in the student movement for justice in Palestine at Occidental College. We are responding to the college’s threat against several students with conduct violations which could possibly result in punishments as severe as suspension and expulsion. We strongly object to these charges against the students as ungrounded, and ask that the college immediately drop the charges. We request instead that the college procures an independent and politically neutral investigation into the April 25th incident at issue here, and invite the students into a productive dialogue or restorative justice process with the administration, faculty and campus community to resolve this issue. Expulsion is a drastic punishment and, in this case, fully unwarranted.

As Columbia Capitulates To Trump Over Palestine, Student Activists Regroup

August 6, 2025 Tamara Turki, Mondoweiss. Strategize! Campus Movement, Columbia University, Higher Education, Palestine, Retaliation, Student Activism

Over the past two years, Columbia University has become a case study in the growing battle between grassroots movements in the U.S. and the institutions determined to silence them. What began as a student-led call for divestment from Israel escalated into a high-stakes confrontation between students, university leadership, and, eventually, the U.S. president. That battle now appears to have reached a grim turning point. In trading student rights to free speech and protest for federal funding, Columbia, once known as the “activist Ivy,” has signaled the end of an era of American higher education nurtured political dissent and the beginning of a new one, marked by increased surveillance, censorship, and punishment.

Stop The Nationwide Repression Of The Pro-Palestine Movement

July 24, 2025 Maryam Alaniz, Left Voice. Strategize! Campus Movement, Columbia University, Israel, Palestine, Repression, Student Activism

Columbia University just suspended nearly 80 students for participating in a teach-in honoring Palestinian writer and revolutionary Basel al-Araj — marking the largest student suspension in the university’s modern history. The escalation comes amid growing repression against the pro-Palestine movement nationally, and just days before Columbia is expected to finalize an agreement with the Trump administration and the Anti-Defamation League (ADL). The deal would restore $400 million in canceled federal funding in exchange for adopting policies that criminalize criticism of Israel.

How Pro-Palestine Activists At Princeton Got Their Charges Dropped

As the genocide in Gaza continues, imperialist governments that have made Israel’s crimes possible are escalating their attacks on the movement for Palestine. From the targeting of international students to the recent firing of four CUNY faculty over Palestine activism, universities remain an important site of struggle against the genocide. Despite the repression, there have been victories which show that it pays to take up the fight against these attacks on the movement for Palestine. One example is at Princeton University, where 13 activists from the Princeton community recently got charges dropped after more than a year.

Hands Off CUNY: PSC Defends Fired Faculty, Condemns Repression

Members and friends of the Professional Staff Congress (PSC) at the City University of New York (CUNY), American Federation of Teachers (AFT), and the American Association of University Professors (AAUP) held a press conference in front of City Hall today to condemn what they are calling “modern-day McCarthyism” in higher education and to demand the rehiring of the Fired 4. The press conference comes one day before CUNY’s chancellor joins top administrators from University of California, Berkeley and Georgetown University to testify in Washington before the House Education and Workforce Committee.

The Student Movement For Palestine Continues, Despite Crackdowns

July 15, 2025 Nashwa Bawab, In These Times. Strategize! Campus Movement, Palestine, Palestine Solidarity, Repression, Student Activism

The Palestine movement is in an especially difficult phase. The genocide in Gaza has been ongoing for more than 20 months; the death toll has become virtually untrackable, but estimates suggest at least 55,000 people have been killed. In the United States, the movement is facing repression not seen since the height of the war on terror. Empowered by the student movement just a year ago, the moment is now colored by a sense of defeatism and a loss of hope. To discuss where to find hope, where the movement for liberation has made strides and where we go from here, In These Times brought together figures from the student movement globally.

CUNY Escalates Repression Against Palestine Activism

July 11, 2025 Billie Estrine, Mondoweiss. Educate! Campus Movement, Higher Education, New York City (NYC), Palestine Solidarity, Repression, Student Activism

In a move that activists are saying is an attempt to quell the passionate student and worker movement for Palestinian liberation within the City University of New York (CUNY), student organizer Hadeeqa Arzoo Malik has been suspended for a year. While she is suspended from CCNY, she is not permitted to enroll in any other CUNY college. Malik is a courageous organizer and leader of CCNY’s Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) chapter. She has become a public face of the student movement for Palestine in New York City and across the nation since the movement accelerated worldwide to end Israel’s escalated genocide against the Palestinian people in Gaza.

The Evolution Of Domestic Counterinsurgency In The US

By the time DHS agents showed up at Mahmoud Khalil’s door, a full-spectrum campaign had already marked him as a target. Columbia professor Shai Davidai had posted Khalil’s name and image online, called him a terrorist, and urged Secretary of State Marco Rubio to deport him. The smear was picked up by a network of doxxing accounts like “Documenting Jew Hatred on Campus,” which publicly lobbied for the revocation of Khalil’s visa. Rubio repeated the call, Khalil received death threats, and the university stayed silent. Then, federal agents arrived. A professor’s tweet had become a trigger for federal enforcement. A tweet, a tag, a dossier — these were the new informant files. This time, professors, NGOs, and anonymous social media accounts were the new operators.

Mahmoud Khalil Still Detained Despite Court Ruling It Unconstitutional

June 18, 2025 Palestine Legal. Educate! Campus Movement, Detention, Legal System, Mahmoud Khalil, Palestine, State Repression

Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil, who has been detained in a remote ICE facility in Jena, Louisiana, since March, was hoping to be released last Friday after U.S. District Judge Michael Farbiarz ruled there was no legitimate basis for his continued detention. The judge ruled that Mahmoud Khalil’s months-long detention by the Trump administration on the grounds that Khalil’s campus activism in support of Palestinian rights posed a danger to “U.S. foreign policy” had chilled Khalil’s ability to express himself and was presumptively unconstitutional. But in a letter to the judge Friday, the government justified not releasing Khalil based on false allegations that he committed fraud on his 2024 green card application by not disclosing his previous employment with organizations including a UN agency that helps Palestinians.

Swell Of Support For Pro-Palestine Student Yunseo Chung

Following a court hearing on Thursday, May 29, a federal judge extended an order blocking Immigration Customs and Enforcement (ICE) agents from arresting 21-year-old college student Yunseo Chung. Chung, like fellow Columbia students and graduates Mahmoud Khalil, Mohsen Mahdawi, and Ranjani Srinivasan, has been targeted by the Trump administration amid its broader attacks on immigrants, institutions of higher education, and the pro-Palestine movement. The temporary restraining order on Chung’s detention by ICE is now extended until her next court hearing on June 5.

Chris Hedges: Trump’s Useful Idiots

May 27, 2025 Chris Hedges, Scheer Post. Educate! Campus Movement, Chris Hedges, Democrats, Donald Trump, State Repression, Zionism

The media, universities, the Democratic Party and liberals, by embracing the fiction of “rampant antisemitism,” laid the groundwork for their own demise. Columbia and Princeton, where I have taught, and Harvard, which I attended, are not incubators of hatred towards Jews. The New York Times, where I worked for fifteen years and which Trump calls “an enemy of the people,” is slavishly subservient to the Zionist narrative. What these institutions have in common is not antisemitism, but liberalism. And liberalism, with its creed of pluralism and inclusiveness, is slated by our authoritarian regime for obliteration.

Hundreds March Outside ICE Facility Where Mahmoud Khalil Remains

On the morning of Thursday, May 22, detained Columbia graduate and Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil had an immigration hearing after US officials allowed him to meet his 1-month-old son, Deen, for the first time. As Khalil testified in an immigration court in rural Jena, Louisiana, dozens rallied outside of the immigration detention and court building, protesting against the continued detention of Khalil. Khalil has been in ICE custody since he was arrested outside of his own home in New York City on March 8. In the months since his arrest, support for Khalil’s release has not abated, with supporters rallying on Thursday in cities across the country, including New York City.

Drop The Charges And Full Amnesty For Brooklyn College Protesters

May 15, 2025 Carmin Maffea, Left Voice. Resist! Campus Movement, Genocide, Higher Education, Israel, New York City (NYC), Palestine, Repression, Student Activism

Fourteen pro-Paelstinian student protestors were arrested at Brooklyn College following a brutal police raid where students were beaten up, dragged, and tased. Those students, who were entirely peaceful , were viciously attacked by police at the command of the CUNY administration and now seven face charges of disorderly conduct and trespassing and risk punishment from Brooklyn College. The Brooklyn College administration recklessly endangered all of their students, staff, and faculty, protesters and non-protesters alike, by bringing cops on campus to protect a genocide and attack the right to protest. The cops, in the name of genocide and as enemies of democratic rights, punched, kicked, and tased students for practicing their right to speak out.
