students, staff, and administrators across historic Palestine.
Academic freedom includes speaking the truth on a genocide.
Nadera Shalhoub-Kevorkian is a renowned Palestinian author and academic. She was recently suspended by the Hebrew University of Jerusalem after she accused Israel of committing genocide in Gaza and calling for abolishing Zionism.
