Harvard temporarily suspends library privileges for faculty involved in 'study-in' protests

In the latest wave of pro-Palestinian protests at Harvard University, students and faculty members have engaged in “study-in” actions at university libraries, as protests at other campuses nationwide have also begun to pull in teachers. About two dozen Harvard faculty members who participated in an Oct. 16 “study-in” in support of students who had been temporarily banned from the library for holding a similar demonstration were themselves given two-week library suspensions, according to the student paper The Harvard Crimson. Pro-Palestinian protests have roiled and divided Harvard and other campuses for much of the year.
