Pro-Palestinian protests at Sciences Po result in penalties for three students
Hollerin' at Sciences Po Paris: Banning Those Pro-Palestinian Students
Yo, guess what went down at Sciences Po Paris? The college's director, Luis Vassy, dropped a bombshell on April 24 - banning three rabblerousers supporting Palestinian causes from campus! Why, you ask? These few students have been accused of some antisemitic stunts, including causing a ruckus at a conference and occupying a courtyard with distasteful banners[1][2][3].
Vassy wasn't mincing words in his message to the school council. He accused a "loudmouth gang of students" of causing havoc like disrupting a conference for university honchos with around 15 miscreants grabbing the mic, occupying a campus courtyard with offensive banners, and even sending troubling messages to the Palestine Committee[1][2].
Hold up! Before you get too rowdy, it's worth noting that ten students have been booted off campus over pro-Palestinian actions since October[1][2]. And there's a person linked to Sciences Po among these activists that will face a trespassing charge, Vassy shared with Agence France-Presse (AFP)[1][2].
But guess who isn't happy with these temporary bans? The Palestine Committee at Sciences Po, who thinks this move amounts to a "purge"[1][2]. What a drag, huh?
On the same day, protesters gathered outside another institution, the Institute of Political Studies in Lille, to lodge complaints against a joint diploma with Tel-Aviv University[1][2]. Talk about stirring the pot!
Now, if you're dying to learn more about the shenanigans at Sciences Po, it might be best to give the college a call for the dirt - the search results don't have any explicit details about the three arrestees or their misbehavior. But stay tuned, because some say the student activism isn't slowing down any time soon. Keep your eyes peeled for more updates on this bitter feud, ya'll!
