Crackdown on Pro-Palestine Students / “Professors Speak Out” on Investigations

Eleanor Goldfield hosts this week’s program, which focuses on two major issues on U.S. campuses. First, a look at how universities (notably Columbia) have suppressed student protests against the Israeli genocide in Gaza and what explains the severity of those actions. Then, how are universities dealing with student complaints about faculty members? Are the processes fair? What are the implications for academic freedom? GUEST: Kei Pritzker is a journalist at Breakthrough News, and a co-director of the documentary “The Encampments.” Nick Wolfinger teaches at the University of Utah, and is the editor of the new book Professors Speak Out, which presents 22 accounts of campus investigations, as told by the faculty members involved.   The post Crackdown on Pro-Palestine Students / “Professors Speak Out” on Investigations appeared first on KPFA.
