2/ While we were in jail, NYU admin further collaborated with the NYPD to launch a massive misinformation campaign, and they continue to lie about took place. Hundreds of videos and photographic evidence and testimonies prove they are blatantly lying.

7/ We were all charged with “trespassing” on the privately owned university we work, study, and live on. A “non-profit” university that is the second largest private landowner in NYC, that pays few land taxes, but arrests tuition-paying students for peacefully protesting.
1
87
474
5/ The fact that the leaders of this university put their own students and faculty in physical danger by calling the police is unconscionable and unforgivable. The NYPD were violent. They used banned kettling techniques, deployed recruits without proper training….

471
10/ I was further disgusted by false reports alleging widespread antisemitism as justification. As a Jewish faculty member, I can state explicitly: the only widespread antisemitism was when the university arrested at least 3 Jewish faculty and several Jewish student protestors.

457
3/ Faculty letters condemning the egregious actions by President Linda Mills have also since emerged. She refused to talk to us on Monday, still refuses to meet with us, and ignores the demands of the vast majority of NYU students, faculty, staff, and alumni.

14/ We stand by our students. We keep us safe. We will not stop, we will not rest. Free Palestine.

12/ Larry Fink, the CEO of Blackrock, must be removed from his position as Vice Chair of NYU’s Board of Trustees. NYU Tel Aviv must be shut down immediately. NYPD need to get off our campus NOW.

8/ Fountain Walker, the head of NYU campus “safety,” refused to look faculty in the eyes as we formed a human chain to protect students, and as he gave final approval for our arrest. My arresting officer told me: “This is all NYU. They asked us to do this.”.

4/ President Mills cares only about protecting her own reputation and the financial interests of this corporate institution’s donors, trustees, and global real estate empire.

9/ Upon release from jail, I was horrified to see the videos of police brutality unleashed on our students —a beautiful coalition that includes Muslims and Jews who were praying and holding Passover seder together. It was disproportionately faculty and students of color arrested.

6/ …pepper sprayed students, threw chairs and bodies to the ground, zip tied some of our wrists so tightly that we are still bruised, & denied detainees water, medicine, and use of toilets for hours of chaos and incompetence as they struggled to process all of us.
2

404
11/ All of this because @nyupscoalition students, staff, and faculty have been peacefully demanding —for months—that the university disclose their investments in Israel and stop their complicity in the genocide in Gaza. We deserve an apology, not further insults.

13/ Students are terrified by their own university. Some fear disciplinary retaliation and deportation. They can’t walk to class without passing by NYPD officers surveilling them. The university has built a *literal* wall around Gould Plaza.

NYU Langone's firing of nurse Hesen Jabr for using the word "genocide" is a blatant attack on free speech & an appalling injustice. Firing a dedicated health care worker after 10 years for her views is censorship & cowardly. Read @gaoladipo article:.

NYU dropping in the free speech rankings highlights the critical need for deeper dialogue on campus freedom and expression as we have been saying for the last year. As a global institution, we must uphold the highest standards of academic freedom.
NYU earns ‘abysmal’ score in annual free speech ranking. The Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression threatened to submit an accreditation complaint against NYU if it does not respond to a letter criticizing recent policies by Sept. 20.
