Public Statement to Protect Campus Speech and Academic Freedom

We publicly condemn the UC leadership’s adoption of policies that criminalize our right to teach, write, and research the truth about Palestine. We publicly condemn directives that limit our rights to free speech and expression on behalf of Palestinian liberation with threats of censure or retaliation. 

We express our commitment to supporting and affirming students, staff, and faculty experiencing anti-Palestinian racism and Zionist suppression, policing, surveillance, badgering, and punitive assaults. We defend academic freedom without intimidation, censure, or reprisal. We call on the UC administration to cease their ongoing bullying, disciplining, and criminalization of campus activism for a free Palestine.
