Whoop-dee-do. There’s not much time left in the term, right?
The Harvard Crimson discovered that the school suspended the Harvard Undergraduate Palestine Solidarity Committee for the remainder of the spring term, telling them to “’cease all organizational activities for the remainder of the Spring 2024 term’ or risk permanent expulsion.”
I’m shocked no one has started an anti-Israel encampment at Harvard. It’s the latest fad, especially since Passover begins at sundown.
Harvard has restricted Harvard Yard to only students and those with a Harvard ID for the rest of the week to prevent an encampment.
However, the Harvard Undergraduate Palestine Solidarity Committee and other unrecognized student organizations held a rally last Friday. From The Harvard Crimson:
The PSC was one of several student organizations, including some unrecognized student organizations, to stage a rally in Harvard Yard on Friday in solidarity with student activists at Columbia, more than 100 of whom were arrested on Thursday by the New York City Police Department.During the rally, attendees marched and chanted outside the offices of administrators in the Yard, concluding on the steps of Widener Library.In an email to the PSC, the College specifically cited Friday’s protest when informing the group of its suspension for the remainder of the spring semester, noting that the group had failed to register the demonstration and violated protest guidelines regarding responsible use of space.The group had previously been placed on probation by the College in March, according to the email.“The organization will not be recognized and will not have access to university benefits and services during this time, including but not limited to use of campus space and appropriate use of the Harvard name,” the email stated. “If the organization continues to operate and commits additional violations during this suspension, the organization risks permanent expulsion, as provided in the Resource Guide.”
