Academia Mag’s Post

𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐖𝐚𝐬 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐓𝐮𝐟𝐭𝐬 𝐏𝐡𝐃 𝐒𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐀𝐫𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐝? Tufts University is demanding the release of Rumeysa Ozturk, a PhD student arrested during a nationwide crackdown on pro-Palestinian protests. Her detention, caught on video, has sparked outrage as critics say this is an attack on academic freedom and free speech. With Trump cutting funding and threatening deportation at top schools like Harvard University and Columbia University, the stakes couldn’t be higher. Is this justice—or suppression? #FreeRumeysa #TuftsUniversity #FreeSpeech #CampusProtests #GazaProtests #AcademicFreedom #StudentRights #TrumpNews #ColumbiaProtests #Harvard #SaveEducation #PalestineProtests #USPolitics
