[Biblist] 30 Harvard professors hold ‘study-in' protest at library

Från NBC10 Boston <https://www.nbcboston.com/news/local/nbc10-boston-about-us/2834500/> Dozens of professors at Harvard University staged a "study-in" protest at the school's library Wednesday, in solidarity with students disciplined for taking part in a pro-Palestinian demonstration. Thirty professors sat down inside Widener Library to take a stand against the university's decision to suspend 12 students from using the facility. "I can't imagine that a university would want to punish its teachers for reading in a library, but then again, I couldn't have imagined that it would have suspended our students for doing the same thing," law professor Andrew Crespo said. "If the university is going to be true to what it is all about, it can't start punishing students for reading quietly in the library just because those students have ideas that they want to share with other students and other members in the community." https://www.nbcboston.com/news/local/30-harvard-professors-hold-study-in-pr… Klipp: Harvard University is ranked #1 in Best Global Universities Om Widener Library Harvard Library’s flagship location, Widener Library offers inspiring study spaces, miles of stacks to explore, and friendly librarians ready to help. https://library.harvard.edu/libraries/widener https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Widener_Library Jan Jan -- Jan Szczepański F.d Förste bibliotekarie och chef för f.d Avdelningen för humaniora, vid f.d.
