Detroit, April 10 (RHC)-- The University of Michigan has come under fire over its proposed “Disruptive Activity Policy,” which was issued by University President Santa Ono after Palestinian rights activists interrupted a speech he was giving. The American Civil Liberties Union of Michigan warns the policy will have a chilling effect and likely lead to violations of the First Amendment.
Elsewhere, Vanderbilt University in Tennessee has expelled, suspended and issued disciplinary probations to a group of students who engaged in a sit-in protest demanding Vanderbilt divest from companies complicit in Israel’s occupation and killing of Palestinians.
