Cornell student suspended over Gaza protest speaks out
Cornell University in the state of New York is suspending enrolment and study for students who participate in campus protests demanding an end to Israel’s war on Gaza.
The school says that this is because students set up an encampment which they did not seek permission for.
Across many American universities – student protesters have set up encampments on their campuses and are calling for their universities to withdraw investment from companies with links to the Israeli military.
Nick Wilson is a Second-year undergraduate student at Cornell University and a protest organiser with the Coalition for Mutual Liberation.
He was suspended two days ago for participating in a demonstration at the campus against Israel’s war on Gaza.
He joins us from Ithaca, New York to explain his side of the story.
