MIT wants to suspend dozens of pro-Palestinian protesters

MIT wants to suspend dozens of pro-Palestinian protesters

CAMPUS. I think we remain very optimistic at the moment. We continue to hope that we can cooperate properly with the administration. The demonstrators have been camping on the MIT campus for more than two weeks. Yesterday, students tore down a fence to return to the camp after leaving under threat of suspension. Frustrated with the school administration. It just looks like they’re stonewalling. You know, we have this one very specific demand that we just stop doing war research for the Israeli military. THAT’S IT. It’s a precedent. IT IS POSSIBLE. WE KNOW THAT. And they don’t seem at all willing to go ahead with it today. An email from the MIT chancellor said that dozens of students who participated in yesterday’s protests will be provisionally suspended and referred to the disciplinary committee. JOHN STUDENTS HAVE WORKED HARD ALL SEMESTER. Um, now everything is controversial. But it can also mean that students lose their apartment. IN THE EMAIL SENT TO THE ENTIRE STUDENT SOCIETY, REGARDING THE TEMPORARY SUSPENSIONS, THE CHANCELLOR SAYS, quote, these measures are necessary to ensure the safety of our community, end quote. The protesters say they will continue to remain in the camp until the administration meets their demands. AFTER MONTHS OF ACTIVE GENOCIDE. It seems like the least we can do. NOW. Protesters tell me that they were not notified or told when they would be notified of this suspension, as MIT has not said whether it has plans to close the camp. At six o’clock we hear from Jewish students here on the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) campus about their disappointment with the administration.
