Why are US academics suing to protest the administration’s crackdown on pro-Palestine activism?
The Trump administration’s policy of detaining, detaining, canceling visas, and deporting students who engage in pro-Palestinian advocacy has drawn the attention of a number of groups of professors in the US.
According to Jamil Jaffer, executive director of the Knight First Amendment Institute at Columbia University, one of the organizations that brought the lawsuit, the US government’s crackdown on free speech is having a chilling effect on academic institutions.
