Last month, student protesters at University of California, Irvine sued the school regents and chancellor for suspending them without any notice or a chance to present evidence in their defense. On Tuesday, plaintiffs in the suit filed a motion to ask the Superior Court of California to step in.
The five students are asking the court to force the school to halt the suspensions and allow students to resume their studies, register for fall classes, go back to campus jobs, and regain access to campus housing.
More than 3,000 people were arrested during brutal police crackdowns on campus protests this year, according to a protest tracker developed by The Appeal. UCI is still an outlier — it’s one of the only schools in the country that issued interim suspensions banning students from campus before they had a chance to respond. The university’s approach was, a representative for the students said, unprecedented.
That’s outrageous — that’s not how due process is supposed to work,” said Thomas Harvey, an attorney representing the students in the suit. “They seem to be punishing our clients with a method that not only is unprecedented in UCI’s use in terms of responses to protests or student conduct issues, but also it stands out as unusual among the entire UC system.”
…
Students suspended at UCI this spring received notices from the school that listed no specific allegations against them but said they were present at protests where the school claimed that violations of campus policy had allegedly occurred.
The students said they were not given an opportunity to have a hearing on the claims against them or to present evidence in their defense before the suspension went into effect. Students who received the suspension notices were told that they could not attend classes in person or online, access student housing, or be on campus at all, effective immediately.
Interim suspensions have never been used in this way at UCI or at any other schools in the UC system, said Harvey, the plaintiffs’ attorney.

This is true - Modern "Palestine" is an artificial creation by the UK. And, there was no such thing as a "Palestinian" identity or nationalism movement until the 1960s.
Exactly. So there is no stolen country to be given back.

Since Israel has refused to provide full citizenship to the indigenous people who were displaced and now live in the Gaza and West Bank concentration camps, how do you propose to resolve the status of that 4-5 million group if you insist on blocking establishment of a state? The name of the state is irrelevant. But what’s your plan to resolve their status displaced refugees?

They say the same of the US.
Whataboutism. But then that is all you do here. Defend the “innocent” Gazans and hate Jews.
Are babies not innocent too? Israelis are all innocent and Gazans are all guilty based on your world view
Their parents are not innocent and I don’t see why they don’t protect their babies. Why should Israel care more about their kids than their parents do?
Anyone who thinks, much less utters, the words you use should be asked repeatedly why that same indifference to human life doesn’t apply to Jews.
Why?
Terrorists like you do not belong in human society. You are a voice of terror and hatred.

Stop the Zionist propaganda. Not a suggestion, mind you.
