Harvard Suspends ‘Palestine Solidarity Committee’Joel B. Pollak 22 Apr 2024
Harvard College has suspended the “Harvard Undergraduate Palestine Solidarity Committee” (PSC) on Monday for the remainder of the school year because of an unauthorized protest it held last Friday in solidarity with anti-Israel students at Columbia.
The Harvard Crimson reported:
The suspension comes amid a wave of pro-Palestine student demonstrations across the country, with students staging occupations at universities including Columbia and Yale Universities. Though there have not been occupations at Harvard this semester, the University restricted access to Harvard Yard on Sunday in anticipation of student protests.
The PSC was one of several student organizations, including some unrecognized student organizations, to stage a rally in Harvard Yard on Friday in solidarity with student activists at Columbia, more than 100 of whom were arrested on Thursday by the New York City Police Department.
…
In an email to the PSC, the College specifically cited Friday’s protest when informing the group of its suspension for the remainder of the spring semester, noting that the group had failed to register the demonstration and violated protest guidelines regarding responsible use of space.
The PSC has been involved in controversial tactics before. Last year, it smeared a local rabbi, Hirschy Zarchi of the Harvard Chabad community.
