How Trump’s Proposed Cuts Could Devastate Tribal Colleges

July 12, 2025 Nora Mabie, In These Times. Educate! Budget Cuts, Equity, Higher Education, Native Americans, Trump Administration

After losing her mother, sister and brother to diabetes, Joilynn Loves Him decided to study health at Northwest Indian College, a tribal college in Washington. Her experience at the school “has been life-changing.” “The teachers make sure we’re successful,” Loves Him said. “They’re really there for students, and they understand that life happens. If I were at a normal Western college, I’m pretty sure I never would’ve made it.” Such sentiments about tribal colleges are common among students. Tribal colleges and universities are institutions of higher education, chartered by tribes, that aim to meet the educational and cultural needs of Native communities.

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.

UC San Francisco Fired Me For Speaking Out Against Genocide

June 17, 2025 Rupa Marya, Mondoweiss. Resist! Doctors, Genocide, Higher Education, Palestine, Palestine Solidarity, Repression, San Francisco, University of California

In May 2025, after 23 years of service, I was fired from my position as a Professor of Medicine at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF). As healthcare workers were being targeted, tortured, and killed in Gaza by Israel’s US-backed genocide, I could not remain quiet. I spoke out as Gaza’s hospitals were bombed. I brought everything I had as a physician dedicated to building a world of health for all, as a scholar of colonialism and health, as an activist who has stood with Indigenous grandmothers at Standing Rock and survivors of racist police violence in San Francisco, and as a mother who cares for my own children and as a corollary, all children.

Sociocracy In The Higher Education Classroom

June 7, 2025 Grassroots Economic Organizing. Create! Climate Justice, Democracy, Governance, Higher Education

What might sociocracy look like on the small scale, less formally, enacted by college students who have just begun to feel it out? How might sociocracy’s resonance pervade an organization, even without the opportunity for thoroughly elaborated structure? In this presentation, Juan Pablo will share how “Students for Environmental Justice” used Sociocracy as a subversion of the traditional, hierarchical classroom model. In exposing the intrinsic, but invisibilized, governance and decision-making processes of the classroom, this group was then empowered to take ownership of their collective class– from the curriculum at the foundation of it, to the grant money that would fund their community outreach projects around climate justice.

Susan Abulhawa: Censored At Oxford After Witnessing Gaza Genocide

May 31, 2025 Lowkey, MintPress News. Resistance Report Censorship, Genocide, Higher Education, Palestine, United Kingdom (UK)

Few Western voices have braved the gates of Gaza during Israel’s ongoing military assault. Fewer still have returned to tell the story. Susan Abulhawa, a Palestinian-American writer and humanitarian, is one of them. In this sobering episode of “The Watchdog,” Abulhawa sits down with host Lowkey to describe the irreversible psychological toll of witnessing Israel’s war on Gaza from inside the Strip and the political price of telling the truth in the West. “I wish I never left,” she says, recounting her time in Gaza earlier this year. “I left thinking I was going to come back in a couple of months to resupply and bring back in medicines and supplies.”

Students Achieve Israeli Divestment Victories On US College Campuses

Two significant US campus divestment victories were hard-won by students and community activists in San Francisco, California, and in Cambridge, Massachusetts. On 19 April, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Graduate Student Union democratically adopted a resolution calling for a permanent ceasefire in Gaza and for the MIT community to cut all research and financial ties with the Israeli military. According to the MIT Coalition for Palestine, along with BDS Boston, the Industrial Liaison Program of MIT officially cut its ties with Israeli weapons manufacturer Elbit Systems.

City University Of New York Hunger Strike for Gaza!

Starting May 27, 2025, students, faculty, and staff from the CUNY Graduate Center, School of Labor and Urban Studies, Baruch, and Brooklyn Colleges launched an indefinite hunger strike on the steps of the Graduate Center. Our demand is clear: that Chancellor Félix Matos Rodríguez and the CUNY Board of Trustees divest immediately from the zionist settler colonial state and from all weapons and tech manufacturers supporting the ongoing Israeli-US genocide in Gaza. As Gaza faces mass starvation under total siege—with over 300 already starved to death, 14,000 babies at risk in the next 48 hours, and nearly a million children facing imminent death—CUNY continues to invest in the corporations enabling this violence.

Columbia Students Boo President, Cheer Mahmoud Khalil At Graduation

May 23, 2025 Michael Arria, Mondoweiss. Resist! Columbia University, First Amendment, Higher Education, Mahmoud Khalil, Marco Rubio, Palestine, Student Activism

Columbia University held its graduation ceremony this week. When acting school president Claire Shipman addressed the crowd, she was met with a loud chorus of boos and “Free Mahmoud!” chants. “Good morning, Class of 2025. I know that many of you feel some amount of frustration with me, and I know you feel it with the administration,” she told the students. Shipman’s attempt to separate the two entities was met with louder boos, and why wouldn’t it be? Since Columbia students erected a Gaza Solidarity Encampment last spring, the school has worked to stifle pro-Palestinian activism on campus.

Graduating CUNY Law Students Walk Out Of Ceremony

Dozens of City University of New York (CUNY) law graduates walked out of their graduation ceremony on Thursday, May 22, in solidarity with Palestine and in protest of their administration’s repression of pro-Palestine protest activity. Students donning keffiyehs and sporting Palestinian flags walked out of the ceremony which took place in the Apollo Theater in Harlem, and rallied together a few blocks away at the monument to Adam Clayton Powell. “We’re walking out of our own commencement ceremony today in protest of CUNY law’s suppression of free speech, and the CUNY system’s investments in Israeli settler colonialism and genocide,” said CUNY law graduate Parima Kadikar at the Adam Clayton Powell monument.

Students Demand: TU Berlin Cut Ties With Genocide-Enabling Institutions

May 22, 2025 Not In Our Name TU, Mondoweiss. Resist! Berlin, Gaza, Genocide, Higher Education, Israel, Palestine

Every university in Gaza has been reduced to rubble. Thousands of students and hundreds of educators have been killed. The genocide is nearing its final, most brutal phase. Meanwhile, Israeli universities continue to develop the weapons and ideologies that made all of it possible. And the Technical University of Berlin (TU Berlin) still refuses to sever ties, 8 months after being confronted with the undeniable proof. The call for an academic boycott of Israeli institutions is not merely symbolic. These institutions have never been neutral bystanders to state violence. They are engineers of it, embedded in the military-industrial complex, drafting demographic warfare strategies, justifying settler expansion, and persecuting Palestinian students and faculty.

CAIR Designates Johns Hopkins University As A Hostile Campus

May 20, 2025 Council on American-Islamic Relations. Educate! Higher Education, Islamophobia, Johns Hopkins University, Repression, Retaliation

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the nation’s largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization, designated Johns Hopkins University (JHU) as a Hostile Campus due to the threat to the safety of students who stand against occupation, apartheid, and genocide. While claiming to be committed to free expression and inclusive dialogue, the university has instead responded to peaceful demonstrations with violent repression, administrative retaliation, and collaboration with state and federal authorities that disproportionately target Muslim and Arab students. JHU received a failing score of 48.3 out of 100 in the 2025 College Free Speech Rankings, revealing widespread concerns about its suppression of dissent and disregard for academic freedom.

I Was Fired From Emerson College For Speaking Out About Palestine

May 19, 2025 Anna Feder, Mondoweiss. Resist! Censorship, Emerson College, Higher Education, Israel, Palestine, Palestine Solidarity, Repression

After 17 years at Emerson College, I was fired for my activism in support of Palestinian liberation. My last day was October 11, 2024, just over one year into the genocide in Gaza and ongoing ethnic cleansing in occupied Palestine. Over my time at Emerson, I established my professional home, weathering the financial crash and the pandemic. During my time, I helped organize the professional staff with the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) and served my peers as a steward. I started a free, public film series with a strong focus on social justice cinema that I successfully ran for over twelve years.

Drop The Charges And Full Amnesty For Brooklyn College Protesters

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.

Johns Hopkins Students Met With Police Repression And Violence

On the morning of May 8, students at Johns Hopkins University launched an encampment on Keyser Quad, declaring it the Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya Liberated Zone in solidarity with the people of Gaza and in protest of the university's ongoing complicity in genocide. Within the hour, demonstrators were met with indiscriminate aggression and physical harassment by armed Johns Hopkins Police and Baltimore Police officers, resulting in the injury of two students and the destruction of personal belongings. Despite the peaceful nature of the protest, which Johns Hopkins Police themselves admitted, they issued multiple threats of imminent arrests, engaging in threats and verbal harassment well outside the scope of their putative role of enforcers of public safety.

Class War At Universities: Workers, Students Unite Against Fascism!

May 10, 2025 Will Hodgkinson, Workers World. Strategize! Boston, Fascism, Higher Education, Solidarity, Working Class

Boston - Students, professors and workers are confronting the Trump administration’s fascist crackdown at universities across the U.S. Since President Donald Trump took office on Jan. 20, immigration officials have revoked at least 1,700 student visas. In the Boston area alone, hundreds of students at Harvard, Northeastern, Emerson, Berklee School of Music, Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Tufts have already lost legal protection and face deportation. Over the past few months, authorities have kidnapped and detained dozens of students and university workers who have opposed the ongoing Zionist genocide in Palestine.
