âTheyâre Trying to Silence Usâ: Students, Faculty on Censoring Pro-Palestine Voices at Graduations
As colleges hold graduation ceremonies across the country, many schools are attempting to silence pro-Palestine speech at the commemorations, including canceling speakers and eliminating live speeches by students altogether. There will be no live student speakers at the City University of New Yorkâs School of Law or at New York Universityâs school-specific ceremonies after former students gave speeches that included expressing support for Palestine and criticism of Israel. Rutgers University canceled biotech CEO Rami Elghandourâs commencement speech at its School of Engineeringâs convocation, citing complaints about his social media posts on Israel and Palestine. And the University of Michiganâs president issued a public apology after professor Derek Peterson praised pro-Palestine students during his commencement address.
âOur students are being told that your families, your Palestinian families, are expected to suffer and die, and you should be OK with it,â says Noura Erakat, a Palestinian human rights attorney and professor at Rutgers University. Erakat adds that Rutgers professors have been asked not to teach about the conditions in Gaza. âWe are asked to betray the empirical record, including the one on genocide and apartheid, and we refuse to do that.â
âThis will be the third graduation and commencement ceremony in a row where we do not have a student speaker, we do not have a faculty speaker and we do not have a live-stream commencement,â says Shivani Desai, a member of CUNY Law Students for Justice in Palestine. âThey took all of that away from us, and they took that away specifically because of Palestine repression.â
