Since the start of the school year, Penn has ignored calls from student and community organizers to disclose their endowment, divest from Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza, and defend the pro-Palestinian members of its university community. The administration has continued to endorse Zionist ideology and bent to the will of their donors in order to prioritize their profit and image. In their most recent attempt to stifle Pro-Palestianian speech, they have suspended four of their own students. On May 17th, all of these students were brutalized by the University’s police force and kept in jail overnight, where Penn attempted to charge some of the students with felonies. Now, these students have been robbed of their income, health insurance, and access to education, from a University that claims “laws without morals are useless.” It is clear Penn is not an institution of education, but a corporate power which serves to oil the gears of the global war machine (and then beat, jail, and suspend those who protest this).

Both the office of the Vice Provost of University Life and the Provost’s office have the power to unilaterally drop disciplinary cases. Send a letter to the head of University Life, Karu Kozuma, and Provost John Jackson below to demand that all charges against these four students be dropped.
