Student activists at UW-Madison pitched tents on Library Mall for nearly two weeks last semester in solidarity with Palestine.
The university ultimately reached an agreement with the protesters, but then pursued disciplinary action this summer against almost forty students.
Two students are now disputing those charges with help from a nonprofit advocacy group, Palestine Legal.
Dahlia Saba, a second-year grad student at UW-Madison and a member of Students for Justice in Palestine, is one of them. She tells WORT News Producer Faye Parks that the university’s actions are discriminatory and create a chilling effect on students’ free speech.
