AnarchoNinaAnalyzes<p>That awkward moment when your own advisory committee says unleashing the murderpigs on protesting students was a bunch of fascist bullshit, but you're still pretty sure you did nothing wrong and "it's the children that are to blame."</p><p><a href="https://www.kut.org/education/2024-07-31/ut-austin-committee-of-counsel-on-academic-freedom-and-responsibility-report-pro-palestinian-protests" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">kut.org/education/2024-07-31/u</span><span class="invisible">t-austin-committee-of-counsel-on-academic-freedom-and-responsibility-report-pro-palestinian-protests</span></a></p><p>UT Austin committee says administrators violated own rules when handling protests</p><p>"The purpose of the Committee of Counsel on Academic Freedom and Responsibility is to provide advice to university administration and look into potential policy violations. The committee includes professors of history, law and education.</p><p>“The report is essentially an account of what the rules actually say and whether they were faithfully administered in response to the protests in April,” James Galbraith, a professor of government and chair of the committee, told KUT. “And the answer, as you can see, is that in important respects they weren’t.”</p><p>The committee said the university failed to follow its own rules in response to the protests, specifically rules enshrining the right to free speech. The report states the university did not make enough of an effort to find a “cooperative resolution” before calling police to respond to demonstrations."</p><p>Quite frankly I don't think it's much of a secret to anyone paying attention that the response by Universities across the country to student protests against Israel's genocide of Palestinians in Gaza was excessive, anti-democratic, and typically violent; you don't get to blame it on the cops when there's absolutely no excuse for calling the cops on your own students exercising their democratic rights in the first damn place. What happened at UT Austin however was even more ridiculously fascist than was typical at other protests - with encouragement from Governor Abbot and GOP political officials, these chucklefucks sent in the jackbooted murderpigs almost immediately, and then (according to their own committee) made up a bunch of lies about the "rules" students broke to justify it.</p><p>The problem here of course is that while mainstream media spent infinite manhours demonizing the protestors and justifying the response, they haven't spent, and won't spend even a fraction of that time and energy reporting the fallout and after the fact studies that prove the establishment as a whole overreached, violated the civil rights of student protestors, and was clearly in the wrong - reports like this one.</p><p><a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Genocide" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Genocide</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/StudentProtests" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>StudentProtests</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/UTAustin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>UTAustin</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Fascism</span></a></p>
