Overview

  • CAIR accuses UC Berkeley of suppressing Palestinian advocacy, expanding surveillance of protests, and failing to protect students and faculty from harassment and retaliation.
  • At Wayne State, CAIR alleges repression of Palestinian, Muslim and allied students and says the university has criminalized peaceful dissent.
  • UC Berkeley and Wayne State issued statements affirming commitments to free expression, nondiscrimination and content‑neutral enforcement of campus policies.
  • Speakers at a CAIR Bay Area event said roughly 1,000 University of California alumni pledged to withhold donations until the UC system reverses changes they say chill pro‑Palestinian speech.
  • CAIR says its findings draw on two Berkeley incidents, Title VI filings and other public records, and the additions bring its list to 28 campuses including Harvard, Columbia, Cornell, Stanford, UCLA, NYU, Emory and George Washington.
