#purdue

my university's mascot is this:

(this is the eight and current Boilermaker locomotive)

Because it used to be a university very dedicated to railroad engineering, Purdue adopted this as their mascot.

TL;DR:

Pro-Palestine activists have been peacefully protesting Purdue's ties to Israel and calling for a ceasefire by setting up an encampment. Purdue University has been pushing back on this, up to charging 4 Purdue students, one of whom is an international Palestinian student, with Code of Conduct cases. Please contact the above numbers and emails to express your support for these students (especially the Palestinian student), and your disapproval against the university's needless censorship and violation of its own free speech policy!

This is time sensitive, as these student's case dates are coming up, although University administration are still being uncooperative and vague as to concrete times.

Purdue cares about its image, so let it know that its refusal to divest from Israel, and its choice to attack students, is unacceptable and brings shame to this institution.
