This letter was written shortly after a group of "concerned" directors on the board (six current, one former) published their own letter, calling for “disciplinary measures” to be taken against these students and vowing to attempt to deny scholarships to students who participate in these protests. This petition responds to these letters, both of which conflate pro-Palestinian activism with antisemitism, and demands that they be retracted. We also seek the removal of any board member who would deny scholarships or seek to punish students based on their political activism. We plan on sharing this letter with the media and the board of the Lowell Alumni Association. https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/open-letter-to-the-lowell-alumni-association-directors
