I truly and strongly believe that universities are the temple of knowledge, but, as well, of plurality of ideas. And if we do not allow that, we are basically killing the essence of what university is about. It’s about having people to be able to express a different point of view in a safety environment, where, as well, students can be exposed to it and make up their mind. That is what is necessary, and that is what makes a university, even a country, stronger, by plurality of ideas. #joanneliu

“We Are Killing the Essence of What the University Is”: Dr. Joanne Liu on <span class="caps">NYU</span> Canceling Her Talk

The former international head of Doctors Without Borders is speaking out after New York University canceled her presentation, saying some of her slides could be viewed as “anti-governmental” and “antisemitic” because they mentioned the Trump administration’s cuts to foreign aid and deaths of humanitarian workers in Israel’s war on Gaza. Dr. Joanne Liu, a Canadian pediatric emergency medicine physician, was scheduled to speak at NYU, her alma mater, on March 19 and had been invited almost a year ago to discuss the challenges of humanitarian crises. Censoring speech is “killing the essence of what the university is about,” says Liu. “I truly and strongly believe that universities are the temple of knowledge.”

« Elle me dit que le président du département craint que ma présentation ne soit perçue comme antisémite, car on y trouve un tableau tiré de l’Aid Worker Security Database qui démontre qu’un des lieux où il y a eu le plus de victimes humanitaires en 2024 était la bande de #Gaza. »

Mon «alma mater» a préféré jouer de surobéissance préventive pour ne pas froisser le gouvernement Trump.
