The Birth of Palestine Activism At George Mason University
Tareq Radi
When president Cabrera opposes the ASA’s resolution to boycott Israeli institutions he is not only suppressing the academic freedom of Palestinian academics, but he is also challenging his own faculty’s right to self-determination.
Cabrera’s most recent action is a deliberate attempt to stifle any form of faculty organizing on the GMU campus. Today, we are fighting for a faceless Palestinian academic, but tomorrow we may be demanding better working conditions and pay for you and your colleagues. For this reason president Cabrera opposed the ASA’s resolution, because the former will lead to the latter, and the latter is an administrator’s worst fear.
