The ICE targeting of college foreign students for deportation continues, and Oregon’s campus newspapers are covering the developments. I’m quite impressed by some of their journalism. My hometown Eugene’s UO "Daily Emerald" has covered the Gaza protests and the peaceful weeks of encampment months ago. Four students had their visas revoked this year, but then reinstated. Yet, the threat remains of UO student suspension by engaging in protest (www.instagram.com/dailyemerald/reel/DJHzUkRzqYo/). At PSU, three individuals had their visas revoked and reinstated, with help from the university. In April, 13 OSU students had their visas revoked, with no reinstatement yet. Turning to staff, maybe there is no coincidence that the PSU director of the Women’s Resource Center and Gaza activist, Nic Francisco-Kaho’onei, PhD, has been given a termination notice (https://psuvanguard.com/letter-to-the-editor-33/). AS TIMELY AS EVER, THE FILM “THE PALESTINE EXCEPTION,” IN LIMITED DISTRIBUTION, COMES BACK TO PDX ON MAY 29TH at the Clinton Street at 7pm, focusing on the nationwide protests and reprisals in 2023 and 2024, as well as the decades-long taboo in academia around criticism of Israel. The powerful documentary was directed by PSU’s Jan Haaken and Jennifer Ruth. (Link: https://cstpdx.com/event/the-palestine-exception/) Columbia University, where the Big Bang of campus activism on Gaza was first heard, is worth mentioning. The powers-that-be have not yet taken down campus newspaper’s “Columbia in Crisis” (https://www.columbiaspectator.com/columbia-in-crisis/), the long story of the burst of activism followed by the reprisals against students and the school. Just this month, suspensions were handed out willy-nilly following a protest in the library, with student housing eviction notices, with little time allowed for due process (in "The Intercept", 5/10/25). It bears repeating: FREE COLUMBIA’S MAHMOUD KHALIL!
