surely those concerned with freedom of speech on college campuses are all over this, right?

This number is going to go up as junior folks go up for tenure, but it will also get harder to prove

Please don't leave him in pain🙏

Abood has intellectual disability & severe epileptic seizures. Without his medicine, he suffers immensely. Treatments in Gaza are too expensive & his family can't afford it. Any small donation can save his health.
PLZ save Abood’s life.

Per the Middle East Studies Association, since October 7, 76 North American academics have been fired for speaking out against the genocide in Palestine.

Two-thirds of those people are non-white.

16.5% are Jewish.

afi.mesana.org/resource/les...

Retaliation goes far beyond firing. Of 196 recorded incidents of employer retaliation against employees speaking out on Palestine, nearly 40% (76) resulted in termination. Retaliation that does not rise to the level of termination is an even larger phenomenon.
All categories of academic workers are at risk. Of the 162 individuals whose employment status was disclosed, 30% involved non-tenure track faculty or instructors, and 36% were tenured.
People of color are disproportionately affected. Of the 134 cases recorded in the AFI database in which respondents’ identification is known, two-thirds were people of color: 30% SWANA; 10.5% Black; and 27% other POC. Additionally, 16.5% identify as Jewish. More than half of those targeted whose gender is known are women. Such retaliation compounds the abuse of already racist and sexist work environments.

We discussed the failure of universities and the NCAA to protect the athletes they predatorily recruit in the case of the ICE abduction of Senegalese player Aminata Seck.

Thanks to popular outcry, Seck has just been released from ICE custody.

Another international cbb player, this one from China, has been abducted by ICE.

DHS says he will ‘self-deport.’

His lawyer says he was traveling to sort visa issues when he was taken.

One report suggests “it’s a delayed paperwork issue with the university.”

A Mississippi Valley State men’s basketball player has been detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Qingfang Pang, a junior power forward on the Delta Devils, is in ICE custody at the Richwood Correctional Center in Richwood, Louisiana, according to the ICE database.
