Från Harvar Crimson
Roughly 25 Harvard professors conducted a silent study-in at Widener
Library on Wednesday to protest the library’s decision to temporarily ban
pro-Palestine students who held a similar demonstration

last
month.
During the study-in, Securitas guards recorded the participants’ names and
Harvard ID numbers and distributed sheets of paper warning of possible
penalties under the University’s January protest guidelines

.
“Libraries are not spaces available for demonstrations or protests,” the
sheets read. “Violation of these rules may result in possible revocation of
library privileges and/or disciplinary action.”
