My faculty colleagues and I have been banned from Widener Library for two weeks to punish us for reading quietly while displaying quotations from the Library's statement of values
Roughly 25 Harvard professors conducted a silent study-in at Widener Library on Wednesday to protest the library’s decision to temporarily ban pro-Palestine students who held a similar demonstration last month.
@tillyrobin and @neilhshah15 report.

Palestinians being rounded up and executed by Israel as the world watches on.
I don’t ever want to hear the words human rights and international law mentioned again. They don’t exist.

Israel’s military offensive and siege pose an existential threat to Palestinians in Gaza.
The UK Government must end its complicity in Israel’s war on Palestinians and immediately halt ALL arms transfers to Israel.

If the sight of human beings burning alive won’t stop the UK government supplying arms to Israel, what will?

In the late forties, a young lady came into our shop, spent a few hours immersed in the books and left, empty handed. The following day, she was back, again immersed herself in the books and this time, bought two books. Our mother was intrigued by her and asked, /1 – at Galway, Ireland

An update: @tandfonline set to make £58m from AI on 2024 as it reveals SECOND partnership. I’m glad someone is making money as universities close departments, make redundancies, raise fees, and cut salaries. @thebookseller thebookseller.com/news/taylo…

Imagine arguing that a 7-yr old is mature enough to testify for 90 minutes before a judge on his/her right to access a book in the library, but also arguing he is not old enough to access a book about two male penguins who worked together to hatch and egg. politico.com/news/2024/07/23…

ICJ finds that Israel is practicing apartheid in the occupied Palestinian territory. This is huge.

The judge who sentenced the JSO activists was previously "very lenient" towards an on-duty police officer who had sex with a drunk woman he'd offered a ride home.
The judge said the officer had acted in a "moment of madness", and he avoided jail time.

⛓️ To give you a sense of how horrifying and brutal these prison sentences for #JustStopOil activists are:
Average sentence for violent crime = 1.7 years.
Average sentence for the JSO activists = 4.3 years.

They are effectively offering as redeployment 1.5fte divided into 3 posts (0.5fte, 0.4fte & 0.6fte) to cover for the 17 posts they are making redundant
