We stand united with our wonderful students Stirling SU to continue to call for an immediate ceasefire #MayDay4Palestine

One of the most profoundly beautiful acts of solidarity I've seen: the indigenous guardians of the land that the McGill University occupies have given the students the right to setup their encampments on the land in fighting for a Palestine free from occupation and genocide❤️‍🔥

#OTD 52 years ago, trade unionist Jimmy Reid stood up up at Glasgow University, having been elected by the students as their new rector.

The speech he delivered - hailed by the New York Times as the finest since the 'Gettysburg Address' - is as profound now as it was then.

The buildings may be destroyed but the universities in Gaza still exist and their future must be defended urgently. Public commitments to rebuilding are vital to resist Israel’s aim of preventing independent Palestinian educational life in Gaza & complete the scholasticide.

🚨Palestinian academics in the UK issue emergency call in defence of universities in Gaza and for urgent public commitments from UK universities and international organisations to support their rebuilding.🇵🇸

A beautiful day for the close of the SGSAH British Council Scotland #EarthScholarships2024 on the beach at St Andrews, exploring DRIFT,
organised by Elodie Laügt & colleagues St Leonard's Postgraduate College

The same people who are pointing guns at students, having them arrested, evicted and suspended are the very same who have DARED give us all lectures about free speech on campus & how 'safe spaces' are for snowflakes. We should spit on this travesty.

This is what his state has done to Gaza's universities.

A few colleagues and I are considering convening an open, online course on resistance, student activism, and similar topics. We will use each meeting to help circulate calls for funds for Gaza and Palestine. If you want to lead a class, please DM me. No degrees required!

Coming up tomorrow (Friday 26th April)!
