The Orange Freedom of Speech

On Wednesday (April 30th), Columbia student Mohsen Mahdawi was released from federal custody on bail, after a federal judge ruled that the Trumpet’s administration’s McCarthyistic shena…

Irony is when a court orders specific people off a patch of grass so the owner of that grass can return this "prime real estate" to the "entire campus community" and the next day proceeds to block all access to said patch of grass.

We added a final section to our letter about the #PalestineSolidariryEncampment at VIU that I really like.

"We lament the loss of the Palestine Solidarity Encampment — VIU’s unofficial Advanced Research Centre for Global Justice and Civic Engagement — to our University. At the Encampment, our students established a truly diverse and vibrant community, and for over one hundred days, they have been assembling peacefully and freely sharing ideas and cultures. They have been doing the work of the University. The Encampment has been one form of our students’ advocacy for universal human rights and an end to the genocide in Gaza. While it is offensive and saddening that Senior Management has decided to demolish the physical structures on the patch of grass in the quad, our students’ movement for justice remains clear and resolute."

Statement regarding the VIU Palestine Solidarity Encampment – VIU Faculty and Employees for Students for Palestine

It is expected that the encampment will cease in its current location as of today. I (speaking personally) hope very much that this is a peaceful and respectful day, as it has been for the entirety of the protest.

I hope VIU resists its own threat to call in the RCMP. And I hope this is not the end of peaceful protests on campus, for any issue.

But I fear the precedent and message sent at VIU (and many other institutions in Canada) is clear. Universities are not safe spaces for protest. The expectation that they are places for open and vigorous debate has been shattered.

At their core, Canadian Universities are just another colonial institution based around colonial confrontation and limiting of rights of people, particularly Indigenous and minorities.

The notion that VIU or any Canadian Institution is changing and acknowledging past wrongs is a whole bunch of performative nonsense. Decolonization? Ha!

It’s just more of the same. Assimilation. Like Israel razing Gaza to the ground so it can swallow it whole and destroy the Palestinian people, the assertion in Court of Canadian Universities private property rights over the Charter rights of its community and the un-ceded Territories of host First Nations, make them complicit and actively participating in Canada's Genocide.

A judge must decide the fate of one of Canada's last pro-Palestinian protest encampments as Vancouver Island University takes on a handful of its students in B.C. Supreme Court.

Vancouver Island University sues pro-Palestinian protest leaders after camp stays up past deadline | CBC News

A university in B.C. has launched a lawsuit against the organizers of a pro-Palestinian protest camp that was set up on the university campus on May 1.

CBC

It’s official, my employer, a public university has filed a suit in BC Supreme Court against a student who is the “leader” of the PSE protest encampment on campus. She is an international student, a visible minority… and now the target of an expensive lawsuit by a broke University against its students.

(Edit: *students)

What an incredibly sad day.

Комментарий редакции:
Недавний всплеск протестов в университетах США вызвал обеспокоенность руководителей компаний, таких как Кевин О'Лири, относительно возможности трудоустройства протестующих студентов. Этот отчет проливает свет на потенциальные последствия такого активизма для будущих возможностей трудоустройства, подчеркивая важность ответственного поведения и его влияние на карьерные перспективы.
Заключение:
Заявления Кевина О'Лири о влиянии университетских протестов на будущую работу подчеркивают необходимость того, чтобы студенты задумывались о более широких последствиях своих действий. Работодатели все тщательнее проверяют биографию кандидатов, и участие в протестах или спорных мероприятиях может негативно сказаться на карьерных перспективах. В дальнейшем студенты должны уделять первостепенное внимание ответственному поведению, чтобы сохранить свою профессиональную репутацию и максимально расширить возможности трудоустройства.
Ключевые слова:
Университетские протесты, будущее трудоустройство, перспективы карьерного роста, профессиональная репутация, ответственное поведение
