Reinstate Ranjani Srinivasan & Protect International Students and Higher Education Now

From our colleagues at Student Workers of Columbia (UAW Local 2710):

Columbia University abandoned GSAPP PhD candidate Ranjani Srinivasan to abduction by ICE, cancelling her student status and housing agreement without due process. She was forced to leave the country for Canada, where she is currently.

Columbia has made its students less safe under already precarious and dangerous circumstances. Columbia’s unwillingness to protect Ranjani has opened her up to targeting by the Department of Homeland Security and harassment by right-wing groups. It is also evident, from this event along with the the abduction of Mahmoud Khalil, that Columbia University is willing to sacrifice its own students in an attempt to appease repressive and antidemocratic interests openly hostile to the mission and very existence of higher education

Add your name to demand that Columbia re-enroll Ranjani, advocate for the reinstatement of her visa, and defend and support non-US citizen students.
