Last spring, campuses across the country erupted in defiant protest as students took a stand against the atrocities in Gaza and the complicity of US universities. Encampments, walkouts, and sit-ins spread, demanding an end to their universities’ complicity in genocide. But by fall, that wave of resistance met an equally forceful crackdown. At DePaul University, repression has taken many forms: shutting down protests, keeping the quad closed, allowing a returned IDF soldier to move freely on campus, and banning Behind Enemy Lines from campus.
This ban is part of the nationwide crackdown on free expression on campuses, especially resistance for Palestine. DePaul University, who claims to promote “peaceful, just, and equitable solutions to social and environmental challenges” has decided supporting resistance and standing with Palestine is too risky. From the firing of Norman Finkelstein, to the crackdown on last Spring’s Gaza encampment, Depaul has proven time and time again that they stand with US imperialism and the US-Israeli War Machine.
So people of DePaul, the choice is clear: stay silent and complicit, or take action.
If you accept this repression, what else will you accept?
Students, alumni, and anyone at DePaul stand against injustice—now is the time to act. The past 16 months of genocide have made one thing undeniable: we cannot limit our resistance to what those in power deem acceptable. So let’s defy this ban.
Behind Enemy Lines led a week of defiance on DePaul’s Campus. What is next?
