From our colleagues at the AAUP:
On December 12, the NYU administration invited the NYPD to arrest two faculty members who were supporting students involved in a nonviolent protest at the main library. The university also designated these and three other faculty members as Personae Non Gratae (PNG), barring them from access to campus buildings. Several students were subjected to the same form of disciplining.
A group of scholars, artists, writers, journalists, students, faculty and staff are demanding that NYU leadership immediately drop charges against faculty arrested by the NYPD, withdraw sanctions against those they have designated PNG, and stop persecuting students, faculty and staff who raise their voices against the historic crimes now ongoing in Palestine.
