Dr. Nadera Shalhoub-Kevorkian's family and colleagues would like it shared widely that while detained, Israeli police subjected her to torture and interrogated her. They spent an hour asking about an article she wrote in 2020. They shackled her feet and hands, put her in
solitary - a urine and cockroach-infested space - and gave her blankets with vomit on them. They kept the light on all night long and kept her room freezing. Her ear started bleeding from high blood pressure and they denied her medication. They confiscated her computer, phone,
every piece of new scholarship she was working on, and books from her home. They also questioned her about her academic colleagues. They ask that we remain vigilant even though a judge ordered her release. Her own university facilitating the arrest through their own repression
is yet another reason for committing to an academic boycott of Israeli universities. More details on the conditions of her arrest here: change.org/p/demand-the-r…

Multiple Academic Senates sent out notices extending grade submission deadlines last week that began by warning Senate faculty of all of the confusing memos, letters, FAQs, etc., that are floating around regarding the strike. 1/10
The insinuation is that these are partisan, and that the Senate is neutral body and doesn't take a position on the strike, and that they exist to protect all faculty interests. 2/10
Folx have already critiqued these statements for failing to mention our HEERA-protections to not volunteer to take up struck work AND to honor the picket line fully as part of faculty interests. 3/10
