Universities have imposed restrictions on student gatherings and protests to prevent a repeat of the tumultuous events that occurred during the previous academic year, citing administrative concerns.
Following the surge of pro-Palestinian protests last year, universities now require prior approval for events, which critics argue undermines freedom of speech on campuses.
The actions taken by universities to limit student assembly reflect a broader trend of prioritizing administrative stability and donor appeasement over genuine freedom of expression during times of unrest.
Critics note that the recent measures resemble the oppressive tactics observed post-9/11, indicating a troubling revival of restrictions in higher education environments.
