"In January, the University of Michigan’s faculty senate
became one of the first in the nation to call for divestment
from “financial holdings in companies that invest in Israel’s
ongoing military campaign in Gaza”.
"The draft policy comes after students spent months calling on university leadership to
divest from companies like Boeing and Lockheed Martin,
which help provide weapons to the Israeli military amid the ongoing bombing campaign in Gaza. "
(Boeing, lackherd Martin, Raytheon, Home Depot, Fed Ex as a few examples, also fund Insurrection and Sedition US Government elected leaders.)
"the proposed rule, which defines “disruptive activity”
as any action that disrupts
“the free flow of persons about campus,
whether indoors or outdoors, including any pedestrian, bicycle or vehicular traffic”.
"strict punishments
for anyone who interrupts official university events,
including speeches, classes,
athletic events,
field trips, performances, graduation and award
ceremonies."
"In a letter slamming University of Michigan leaders,
the American Civil Liberties Union of Michigan
said the policy’s imprecise language
“fails to make important distinctions that would prevent predictable first amendment violations”.
The letter, sent this week to Ono and his vice-president, Timothy Lynch, warned that such restrictions on protest would lead to
“discriminatory enforcement and uneven self-censorship”.
