KINDA THINKING THAT BRANDEIS SHOULD HAVE ITS ACCREDITATION REVOKED. IT’S NOT ACTING LIKE A UNIVERSITY: Brandeis Student Journalist Slapped With “No Contact” Order.
A Brandeis University student journalist unsuccessfully prosecuted for “harassment” by university officials has now been slapped with a “no contact order” restricting his movement on campus, according to documents obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.
The latest punishment against Brandeis senior Daniel Mael follows an article he wrote drawing attention to tweets by another student leader who endorsed on Twitter the recent murder of two New York City police officers and declared that “amerikkka needs an intifada.”
The “no contact order” forbids Mael from being in the same physical location on campus as student Michael Piccione, who launched a campaign to convince the Brandeis administration to punish Mael for writing the article.
The latest action against Mael appears to contradict an assertion in Saturday’s Wall Street Journal by school president Fred Lawrence that Brandeis maintains an “unyielding commitment to free speech.”
Somebody should occupy Lawrence’s office. They need to start a student group. They could call it the “Free Speech Movement.”
