MIT has suspended the Coalition Against Apartheid/CAA, a pro-Palestinian student group, for violating campus protest rules, resulting in 13 individuals receiving sanction letters threatening permanent suspension. The university's president, Sally Kornbluth, emphasized that the suspension and potential disciplinary hearings for individual students involved in an unauthorized demonstration are not related to the content of their speech but due to rule violations. The group, identified as an offshoot of Students for Justice in Palestine, is now prohibited from using school facilities and protesting on campus. This action has sparked discussions on free speech and the enforcement of campus rules, with some critics arguing that the suspension is a form of repression.

Sally Kornbluth of @MIT really is pathetic. She suspended this group not because of their ugly racism & calls for incitement, but because their protest was 'unauthorized'. Hardly surprising, as she still thinks calls for 'genocide' against Israel are Ok. https://t.co/TW14fu8pof
