🌍 Reflecting on History and Promoting Humanity 🌍 On April 27, 2024, a group of 91 individuals, consisting of international students, RPF Inkotanyi student members, and staff led by Dr. SINDAYIGAYA Samuel, Deputy Vice Chancellor of Academics & Research, embarked on a journey to the Ntarama and Nyamata Memorial sites in Bugesera District. This initiative aimed to deepen our understanding of the history of the Genocide against the Tutsis in 1994. At INES Ruhengeri, we recognize the vital role of higher education in shaping professionals who not only grasp the sciences but also embody a profound sense of humanity. This commitment is pivotal in preventing the recurrence of atrocities fueled by ignorance and hatred. Some of the Genocide perpetrators of 1994 were also scholars/educated; however, they lacked the essential trait of humanity. Through education and empathy, we strive to foster a society where understanding and compassion prevail over prejudice and violence. #INESRuhengeri #EducationForHumanity #NeverAgainGenocide #KWIBUKA30

'As McMaster University Faculty, we stand in solidarity with the people of Palestine living under a long standing system of apartheid, illegal occupation and ongoing genocide in Gaza. We support our students demonstrating tremendous courage and an unwavering pursuit of justice in their demands that McMaster University immediately cease financial investments and academic collaborations with Israel.' McMaster has a chance to course correct, given its penchant to be on the wrong side of history. In 1987, McMaster voted against divesting from apartheid South Africa, contrary to many of its peers in Canada. If McMaster is indeed “committed to building a brighter world”, it needs to reject genocide, apartheid and settler-colonialism as a starting point. https://lnkd.in/gQpyG6N4

🎥 "I run a catholic university in China where the #catholics represents fewer than 1% of population and yet, we have a capacity to influence society. It comes from our orientation toward God, but in the way how it expressed itself in the understanding of the human dignity. I think that it is the genuine gift, that the catholic education has to offer to the world", said Rev. Stephen MORGAN (IFCU Vice President, Rector of the Universityof Saint Joseph (Macao, China). #ifcu100 #fiuc100 #FIUC

Born in Singapore, so we rarely witness protests, demonstrations or walkouts. I have never and never have my peers (to my knowledge) participated in a sit-in of any sort. In Singapore, it's even frowned upon because of the unrest it creates in society and also the loss in economic value. But it does get me to ponder on the roll of having debates with your leaders, a free press, conferences or even just town-hall meetings. Some of which is done in Singapore (in a way) but we take for granted. Also, how impactful are words? eventually that the masses have to resort to action. thought provoking. Need to read up on this.

Attended a wonderful and insightful talk on the militarisation of academia in universities with emphasis on the Israeli academic structure. Dr. Maya Wind, through her research, explained the role of universities in the occupied territories in normalising colonial rule over Palestinians and large scale scholasticide - done by mass suppression of Palestinian voices through segregation, disciplinary measures and extreme policing. Being part of the academic world, I am shocked. Shocked at how (under the guise of academic freedom) universities can still function with an overtly hypocritical approach to teaching with one of the core tenets of their existence (in Israel) being normalisation of occupation. One of the ways in which this is done is by erecting university towns in occupied territories to draw in mass migration from Israeli cities. Some more interesting things I have just discovered, following yesterday’s talk, about the ‘human rights champion and only true democracy in the middle east’: 1. 1978 - declassified state documents with reference to the nakba showed it being premeditated. Access to these documents was reserved for Jewish Israelis only, however, researchers who exposed the establishment were labelled anti-Semitic by the Israeli academy and consequently shunned. Eventually, no research was allowed and the documents were reclassified. 2. Under 3% of Israeli government archives and under 1.5% of Israeli of military archives are available to the public. Access is monitored to the point of time spent reading a specific document. 3. Palestinian critical thinking studies and critiques are consistently shunned and undermined. There is a centralised mechanism in place to fight Palestinian academia with emphasis on scholasticide. 4. 90,000 Palestinian students have been left without universities, complete destruction. No Israeli university has called for this to stop. Lastly, in the words of Dr. Wind herself; There is no academic freedom until it applies to all of us. Free Palestine, now and forever. #Trinity #AcademicsForPalestine #AcademicFreedom #Equality #Palestine #Scholasticide

While the US is releasing Mullahs' regime's frozen monies around the world helping them to retrieve lost energies for suppressing people, and the regime's high-profile men are being OFFICIALLY invited to European countries, I firmly suggest reading this very responsible paper on how Iranian students are sacrificing everything to reach FREEDOM. #hypocrisy #oil #blood #democracy

We, the authors, dedicate this article to the brave Iranian students and academics who have been the flag bearers of the “Woman, Life, Freedom” revolution that emerged in September 2022 following the tragic death of Mahsa Amini in custody 🕊️ In the article, we explore how students and academics have been at the forefront of resistance during the “Woman, Life, Freedom” revolution and the main target of the oppressive measures from the Islamic regime in Iran. In this research, we highlight the historical roots of the institutional oppression since the 1979 revolution and shed light on the regime's misogynistic policies and its attempt in dominating universities in Iran. ما نویسندگان، این مقاله را به دانشجویان و دانشگاهیان شجاع ایرانی تقدیم می کنیم که پرچمداران انقلاب «زن، زندگی، آزادی» هستند؛ انقلابی که پس از قتل حکومتی مهسا ژینا امینی شروع شد. در این مقاله به بررسی اینکه چگونه دانشجویان و دانشگاهیان در ایران در خط مقدم مقاومت در انقلاب ژینا بوده اند و در نتیجه هدف اصلی اقدامات ظالمانه جمهوری اسلامی قرار گرفته اند، پرداخته ایم. همچنین ریشههای تاریخی سرکوب در دانشگاههای ایران پس از انقلاب ۱۳۵۷ را بررسی و سیاستهای زنستیزانه رژیم و تلاش آن برای تسلط بر دانشگاههای ایران را مورد بحث قرار داده ایم.

Expressing a desire for the extermination of Israelis is abhorrent and unacceptable, with no justification under the umbrella of free speech. However, when considering calls for Khalistan(carved out of India), threats of breaking up India into pieces, hijacking an Indian plane, or attacking the Indian parliament, the question arises: Should these be categorized as "free speech" in the Western world? #freespeech #freedom #freedomisnotfree #speech
Congresswoman Elise Stefanik pushes Harvard University President Gay to answer simple moral questions. Forget the SAT, ACT, GMAT, LSAT etc. If students believe that genocide is acceptable, they should have no place at any university, let alone at what was once one of the most respected institutions of higher learning in the world.
