FSD 23-13 Against Police Attacks on Students and in Defense of Academic Freedom

May 3, 2024

We support college students across the country who have been met with extreme and excessive force by law enforcement and punished by their universities for peacefully protesting. Police paramilitary units have been deployed against peaceful student protesters and just this week, student protesters at UCLA were shot in the face with rubber bullets. Faculty members have been assaulted and arrested. As an institution of higher learning, we have a duty to support student protests, whether they are at PNW or any other institution. We also call for the defense of academic freedom of faculty and students and protection against retaliation.
