The following statement was adopted at our April 4th General Meeting
As the death toll in Gaza reaches 40 thousand people, one of the strongest voices for a ceasefire has been Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) on campuses across the country. Sadly, at Case Western Reserve University (CWRU), the school administration has suspended the campus chapter of SJP on a technicality. This level of scrutiny and punitive action has no basis in precedent and amounts to an effort by a pro-Israel school administration to silence a student group because of its political views. President Kaler and the administration have no problem denying students their first amendment rights if it pleases their donor base. DSA says loud and clear: End the suppression of SJP at CWRU. Reinstate them. Ceasefire now, end the occupation and free Palestine!
