Harvard Reverses Suspension of Pro-Palestine Students, Imposes Probation

Jul 10, 2024, 02:40 PM

Harvard University has reversed its decision to suspend five students who participated in a pro-Palestine encampment last semester. This decision came after the Faculty Council criticized the handling of the disciplinary cases. The students will now be placed on probation instead of suspension. The reversal has sparked concerns among Jewish leaders who believe it may lead to increased antisemitism on campus. The move is seen by some as emboldening pro-Palestine student groups ahead of the new academic year. Harvard President Alan Garber has been contacted regarding the decision, and some antisemitic classmates have declared 'long live the intifada' in response.
