Tlaib Blasts U-M for its Handling of Student Protesters

“Tlaib spoke at a rally that also featured a student who said she quit the office that administers the student disciplinary procedure and a lawyer who is running to become a U-M regent … “The University of Michigan created a department, an office, to suppress and target students, to shut them up," Tlaib said. "They are impacting people's civil rights. Your First Amendment right to say free, free Palestine." … Liz Jacob is a lawyer with the Sugar Law Center for Economic & Social Justice who represents several of those students in two separate lawsuits. … Jacob said there is a provision in the Statement of Student Rights and Responsibilities that addresses litigation ... "The statement does say that you're entitled to pause these proceedings if there's ongoing litigation," Jacob said. "And they just would not even honor that."
