The Council on American-Islamic Relations of the San Francisco Bay Area has labeled Stanford University as a 'hostile campus' in response to reported intimidation against pro-Palestinian students. Students express fears of speaking out or showing support for Palestine due to possible retribution, which raises concerns about suppression of free speech. CAIR-SFBA aims to hold Stanford accountable for its commitment to free expression, arguing that the university's policies must protect students who advocate against violence and persecution. Stanford maintains that its policies are neutral and intended to safeguard all community members.
Students are afraid to hang a Palestinian flag out the window of their dorm room, to attend protests, to even speak about Palestine in class.
Our designation of Stanford University as a hostile campus today is about holding the institution accountable to its purported commitment to freedom of expression.
