George Washington University in Washington DC on Tuesday became the third private university in the United States to suspend its Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) chapter, citing the group’s unauthorized projection of pro-Hamas messages on a library named after deceased Jewish supporters of the school as cause.

The news was first reported by The GW Hatchet, a campus newspaper, which added that the suspension has two phases, first a 90-day period in which SJP is banned from sponsoring and holding events on campus, and a second, beginning on Feb. 12, 2024 and lasting for the remainder of the academic year, in which the university will “continue to restrict” its activities.

“GW is continuously proving, as they have proven time and time again for many, many years, that they will always align with the Zionist lobby and against the right to free speech and the right to assembly of their own students,” a representative for SJP, whom the paper granted anonymity, told the Hatchet, accusing the school of “repressive tactics” and vowing that the group will seek ways to circumvent its suspension.

Two other universities have suspended their SJP chapters. On Friday, Columbia announced that it had suspended SJP and Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP) as official student groups on campus through the end of the fall semester. Days earlier, Brandeis University in Massachusetts revoked recognition of its chapter of SJP over its support for Hamas, saying that its decision “was not made lightly, as Brandeis is dedicated to upholding free speech principles.”

George Washington University Students for Justice in Palestine has been battling the school’s administration to push the boundaries of its campus activities since Hamas’ terror invasion of Israel on Oct. 7, an attack that resulted in over 1,200 deaths of mostly civilians including incidents of rape and torture.

Five days after the attack, President Ellen Granberg censured in strong terms any support on campus for the war crimes Hamas committed, acts that SJP had cheered during numerous demonstrations.

Celebrating Black Queer Icons

Kye Allums

Born October 23, 1989, Allums is a trans advocate, public speaker, writer, artist, and mentor. In 2010 Allums made history when he became the first openly trans athlete in top tier collegiate sports, in the US. Allums played for George Washington University's Division-I Women's Basketball team for 3 seasons. (Career stats can be found here https://gwsports.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=3125) Allums has said that his coach and teammates were very supportive, and that despite stress from heavy media attention, his transition process was a mostly positive affair. Allums left the team after the 2010-2011 season and graduated from GW in 2011 with a Bachelor's in Fine Arts. Allums has since gone on to become a notable public speaker and trans advocate. Allums travels to high schools, universities, and colleges to speak on his experiences as a trans man and give advice on confronting bullies, as a trans person in academic spaces. Allums has interviewed with a variety of publications over the years including Time, GLAAD, and Playboy. Allums produced the I Am Enough project, to share trans stories and encourage others to submit their own, letting trans people everywhere know they are not alone in their experiences. Allums was one of seven trans people featured in Laverne Cox's MTV Documentary "The T Word" and also appeared in the Netflix Domentary "GameFace". Allums also authored a short text called "Who Am I?", a collection of poems and letters addressing his experiences as a trans man and his relationship with his mother. In 2015 Allums was inducted into the National Gay and Lesbian Sports Hall of Fame. Though largely out of the public eye since the late the 2010s, Allums continues to be an inspiration and role model to many.

Not sure who I will be covering next. Miss Major Griffith-Gracy and Victor J Mukasa are both near the top of the list right now. Willmer Broadnax is still on the table as well, and I may have some sourcing help on that thanks to the other mods @transunity. My content maps are like that of a AAA game publisher's though, and should be read with utter skepticism until they materialize. As always, corrections and suggestions are welcome and wanted!

To reduce the carbon emissions that are driving climate change and meet climate targets, the world will need to deploy renewable energy at an unprecedented speed and scale. Solar energy promises to play a crucial role in achieving a sustainable, low-carbon energy future, especially if the price of production continues to decline as it has over the last 40 years.

Now, a new study published in the journal Nature has calculated that the globalized supply chain saved countries $67 billion in solar panel production costs. The study also found that if strong nationalistic policies that limit the free flow of goods, talent and capital are implemented going forward, solar panel costs will be much higher by 2030.

The study -- the first to quantify the cost savings of a globalized value chain for the solar industry -- comes at a time when many countries have introduced policies that would nationalize renewable energy supply chains in a bid to benefit local manufacturers. Policies such as imposing import tariffs could complicate efforts to accelerate deployment of renewables like solar by raising the cost of production, the study's researchers said.

During the one-semester course, Sheehi subjected Jewish students to anti-Semitic coursework and lectures, at times suggesting their failure to acquiesce would threaten their future as clinical psychologists. In September, she invited a radical speaker to campus who has falsely claimed that Israel tests its missile systems on Palestinian children.

The event occurred between the Jewish High Holy Days of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. The speaker, Dr. Nadera Shalhoub-Kevorkian, used the occasion to denounce "white Israeli racism," accuse Israel of using global relief work "to camouflage" its "oppressive power," and call for violence against Jewish people. The visiting professor went on to praise a Palestinian teenager who attempted to stab two Israelis to death in 2015.

The Jewish students told Sheehi they felt targeted by the talk, questioning why they had been subjected to "a two-hour diatribe against one group—namely, Jews," the complaint says. They noted other regimes known for human rights abuses like China, Russia, and Iran would likely not have received similar treatment. One of those students posted in a group chat for the class that the speaker’s talk also had "little to do with being a stronger clinician." Another pointed out that there were no course readings on anti-Semitism for a class on "diversity awareness."

But Sheehi denied the students had experienced anti-Semitism and told them the speaker’s remarks were "in keeping with the class approach of ‘disrupting,’" according to the complaint. She then went further and condemned the student for having made "damaging Islamophobic anti-Palestinian" comments about the guest speaker. In another heated class debate that term, she tacitly approved of fellow students calling out what they termed their Jewish classmates' "white fragility."

Behind closed doors, Sheehi slandered the students to other faculty members, claiming they were racists who called the speaker a "terrorist" and used assignments as an excuse to get "combative" with her, the complaint states.

The Jewish students spoke with their department’s chair and an unnamed dean about Sheehi’s conduct. But neither took action against the professor. The dean informed the students their only recourse would be to withdraw from the course and take it again the following year. He also denied Sheehi had engaged in anti-Semitism.

Jewish Students Reported a Professor for Anti-Semitism. Their University Retaliated Against Them.

On the first day of classes last fall, a psychology professor asked students in one of George Washington University’s required diversity courses to share their names and identities. The professor went around the room "affirming" each student’s introduction, until one student said she was born in Israel.

"It’s not your fault you were born in Israel," the professor, Lara Sheehi, told the student in the postgraduate Professional Psychology Program, according to a classmate in attendance who spoke with the Washington Free Beacon.

The remark set the tone for a contentious semester with Sheehi, who consistently harassed her Jewish students and then retaliated against them when they raised concerns with the administration, according to a Title VI discrimination complaint filed Thursday with the Department of Education.

"She began to retaliate against us," one of those students told the Free Beacon. "She began to spread lies about us to the faculty—smearing our reputations to the people who are going to be our clinical supervisors for years to come."

Systemic ignorance of Judaism, Zionism and antisemitism at GW has enabled discriminationagainst Jews in the classroom and created fertile grounds for antisemitism at GW over the past few years. Bigoted notes and drawings of swastikas have appeared in residence halls. Holocaust revisionism and denial have been disseminated in classes. Mezuzot have been removed and damaged. A Torah scroll at the TKE house was desecrated last year. This fall, the GW Hillel building was vandalized and the site of an aggressive protest and it has been alleged that psychology professor Lara Sheehi was hostile toward Israeli-Jewish students.

The time has come to confront our campus’ cultural problem head on. The Student Association issued an executive order last month to create “The Presidential Task Force to Combat Antisemitism,” and, with the SA Senate’s vote next Monday, I will become commissioner. To ensure the protection of every student – including Jewish students – the task force will first propose an anti-bullying resolution drafted by the AMCHA Initiative – a nonprofit dedicated to documenting, investigating and combating antisemitism on U.S. college campuses. The “redefinition, denigration and suppression” of Jewish identity on campus violates GW’s policies and requires attention.

I plan to recruit 10 students to the task force by March 7 regardless of faith or ethnicity. The task force’s members will help create a comprehensive report about antisemitism at GW, research root causes of anti-Jewish bigotry, organize events and implement Jewish history and antisemitism as part of GW’s diversity, equity and inclusion trainings. Discussions between task force members and outside experts will help us understand how we can engage in civil discourse about these topics on campus.

As an Israeli-American and Jewish student myself, I’m grateful for campus organizations like GW Hillel, Chabad and Meor that hold weekly Shabbat dinners and other events where Jews can engage in cultural practices and conversations about our shared identities. But our Jewish peers hesitate to display their identities publicly on campus as a result of vitriolic attacks on their identity. Several of my Jewish friends have told me they conceal their Jewish symbols, like Star of David necklaces or kippot, when walking around campus past other students, some of whom have heckled and spit on them in class or in Kogan Plaza.
