In the face of repressive United States government policies targeting academic freedom and higher education institutions, we demand that:
1. US universities and colleges defend academic freedom, due process, and free speech, rather than capitulating in anticipatory obedience by implementing policies that disproportionately target and sacrifice racialized scholars, especially Muslim, Arab, and Palestinian scholars.
2. The US Government ends its repressive measures against academic freedom and higher education.
On Tuesday 4 March 2025, Yale University suspended international law scholar and pro-Palestinian activist Dr Helyeh Doutaghi. Dr Doutaghi is Deputy Director of the Law and Political Economy Project and Associate Research Scholar at Yale Law School. Dr Doutaghi was placed on administrative leave and banned from campus and email access based on information from an artificial intelligence-powered Zionist website that alleged the Iranian-born scholar was a member of a US-designated terror group. Based on these allegations, Yale University launched an interrogation and gave Dr Doutaghi a few hours’ notice to attend. When she asked for more time to consult with legal representation – all while enduring a barrage of harassment, death threats, and online attacks by right-wing supporters of Zionism at a time when she was fasting for Ramadan – the university proceeded within 24 hours to place Dr Doutaghi on administrative leave, revoking email access and banning her from campus. Dr Doutaghi’s suspension occurs amid widespread pressure from university donors and the United States government to silence all critique of Israel at US universities and colleges.
Instead of rushing to capitulate and demonstrate anticipatory obedience, we demand that Yale Law School and other US higher education institutions resist policies that disproportionately target and sacrifice racialized scholars on the altar of bullying donors and governments. Instead, we demand that US higher education institutions protect academic freedom, due process, and free speech against escalating assaults from converging private and public interests. Muslim, Arab, Palestinian, and other racialized scholars and students are subject to disproportionate targeting and harm through racial profiling by right-wing online mobs, and universities are rushing to sacrifice their most vulnerable as low hanging fruit to demonstrate obedience. Such behavior serves to escalate the existing vulnerability of racialized scholars to discrimination, exposing them to increasing social stigma and vigilante violence. There are also longer-term discriminatory impacts as risk averse universities become more reticent to accept racialized scholars and students.
The US government is attacking fundamental democratic principles of academic freedom, due process, and free speech at US universities. In reaction to widespread protests and encampments in the US over the last eighteen months opposing the genocide in Gaza, the US government has demonized and criminalized campus activism and conducted bipartisan congressional hearings to investigate US universities. The government deploys a broad, vague, and flawed definition of antisemitism to chill all critique of Israeli treatment of Palestinians. Currently, the US government has deployed a multi-agency task force that works in concert with lobbyists, non-profits, social media, and right-wing groups to target campus communities.
For example, the multi-agency task force announced the suspension of USD 400 million in federal funding to Columbia University without providing clear legal bases for this action or providing the University an opportunity to respond. A few days later, on 10 March, the US Department of Education sent letters to 60 colleges and universities warning that they are under investigation for alleged ‘antisemitic harassment and discrimination’, with action against Columbia presumably intended to serve as a warning to other universities. Federal funding to universities from other government departments and agencies including the Department of Agriculture and the Environmental Protection Agency are being frozen based on support for transgender scholars, environmental protection, measures for equality based on race, gender, and sexuality, and various other causes the government disapproves of, which are by no means confined only to alleged ‘antisemitism’. Moreover, there is potential legislation to strip universities, associations, and philanthropic foundations of nonprofit status based on unilateral executive determinations that they have allegedly engaged in vaguely defined forms of support to groups on terrorism blacklists, including through speech or other associational activity.
The US government has also taken steps to target individuals on campuses for immigration enforcement actions based on their pro-Palestinian activity, including using AI to scrape social media and the web to identify targets. For instance, on 8 March, Mahmoud Khalil, a legal resident of the US and activist in pro-Palestinian protests at Columbia University during the previous academic year, was seized in the lobby of his residence by US Department of Homeland Security agents and transported to an immigration detention facility in Louisiana. Whatever legal pretexts the government alleges for such arrests, the intent is to use the threat of deportation to deter non-citizens from speaking out in ways the US government dislikes. Moreover, the use of AI in such repressive measures poses a risk to due process given its unreliability as well as the anonymity and lack of accountability it provides to those engaging in smear campaigns and witch hunts. We demand that the US government end its repressive measures against US universities.
Rather than resisting the US government’s efforts to conduct a witch hunt to silence all those with opposing viewpoints, universities such as Yale and Columbia have instead capitulated and facilitated these efforts. Such behavior is unworthy of any academic community and is particularly troubling when coming from law schools that pride themselves on legal excellence, rigor, and commitments to social justice and anti-discrimination. Moreover, higher education institutions such as the ivy league that have historically benefited from racist policies such as settler colonialism, genocide, slavery, and segregation, and have been keen to disavow their past horrors, have a moral duty to stand against such discriminatory laws and policies today instead of enabling them. The government’s repressive measures disproportionately target pro-Palestinian activists, feeding and escalating anti-Palestinian racism. Yet, even prior to any government demands that they do so, some US universities have begun implementing measures in line with US government preferences. For example, multiple universities have begun dismantling diversity and inclusion initiatives and scrubbing related terminologies. Administrators have instituted ad-hoc changes to campus policies to limit free speech, association, and protest. Disciplinary proceedings against students, faculty, and staff who have participated in pro-Palestine protests have intensified, including suspension, degree revocation, and sometimes going so far as expulsion. Rest assured, such anticipatory obedience will not protect higher education institutions from government threats, and only serve to encourage and radically scale up the government’s repressive agenda. In the face of repressive US government policies, we demand that US universities and colleges defend academic freedom, due process, and free speech, rather than capitulating in anticipatory obedience by implementing policies that disproportionately target and sacrifice racialized scholars, especially Muslim, Arab, and Palestinian scholars.
