It expresses the author\u2019s own opinion.<\/p>\n<p>We encourage everyone to read the whole piece before commenting on social media, so that we only get constructive contributions.<\/p>\n<p>Disagreement is good, but remember to uphold a civil and respectful tone.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>We, as employees, teachers and researchers at UCPH address you as our university leadership, who are responsible for the working, teaching and study environment at Southern Campus.<\/p>\n<p>We are deeply concerned about the civil rights and the safety of staff and students after <a href=\"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/no-more-tent-camps-and-sock-protests-students-against-the-occupation-evicted-by-the-police\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">armed police were called to dissolve<\/a> the creative and non-violent student manifestation at the Southern Campus on the 3rd of December. Students affiliated with Students against the Occupation were forcefully dragged out from the building and had \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DDK4UovNidX\/?img_index=10\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">according to themselves<\/a> \u2013 their computers confiscated and their university cards blocked.<\/p>\n<p><strong>READ ALSO:<\/strong><em> <a href=\"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/no-more-tent-camps-and-sock-protests-students-against-the-occupation-evicted-by-the-police\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">No more tent camps and sock protests: Students against the Occupation evicted by the police<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Many of them are currently facing the risk of suspension, even though most of them were just sitting there studying amid the protest.<\/p>\n<h3>On the Right Side of History<\/h3>\n<p>It is well known from the study of social movements that studies and protests are inherently related in the late modern history of Western academic education.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The UCPH<br \/>\nhas a long and impressive<br \/>\nhistory of<br \/>\nstudent<br \/>\nprotests<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>As in the case of the encampment in May and June at the City Campus, the students were protesting peacefully against the academic collaborations between UCPH and Israeli institutions. That is in direct continuation of the call for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/world\/2021\/may\/23\/israel-apartheid-boycotts-sanctions-south-africa\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">boycott of South African universities<\/a> in the 1960\u2019s and 1980\u2019s. As many academics and students across the globe are doing today, the students at UCPH are calling for an academic boycott of Israeli universities, due to their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mayaywind.com\/book\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">proven complicity<\/a> in the ongoing genocide in Gaza.<\/p>\n<p>The students have been gathering weekly in the university hall throughout fall, while intensifying the encampment on the 26th of November. When they were forcefully evicted from campus on the 3rd of December, they had been there for a couple of days and some of us had been visiting them, having lunch with them and been listening to the readings of poetry they arranged.<\/p>\n<p>Most of the time, the students were working on their exams while disseminating information about the call for academic boycott. All in all, activities that are in no way against the practice that students or staff are supposed to undertake at a university campus.<\/p>\n<p>Instead of calling the police and evicting the peaceful student gathering, the leadership of the university should acknowledge and appreciate the formal and informal meetings organized by students as a constructive way of engaging with matters of concern.<\/p>\n<h3>Socks and a touch of humor<\/h3>\n<p>The students\u2019 occupation of the hall was carried out peacefully, in socks \u2013 a humorous nod to <a href=\"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/rektor-studenteraktivisme-boer-foelge-stroempefods-princippet\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the rector\u2019s speech<\/a> at the annual celebration, in which he distinguished between considerate and illegitimate student protests.<\/p>\n<p><strong>READ ALSO:<\/strong> <em><a href=\"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/rektor-studenteraktivisme-boer-foelge-stroempefods-princippet\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Rector&#8217;s speech at the annual celebration: Student activism must pass the &#8216;sock test&#8217;<\/a> <\/em>(in Danish)<\/p>\n<p>What was not peaceful was the way in which the students\u2019 activities were met with a forceful silencing of public and academic conversation regarding one of the most pressing international conflicts \u2013 a conflict many of our students and colleagues are deeply affected by. What the Students against the Occupation are doing is raising their voice with this commonly shared concern.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The students\u2019 position is in no way a radical one<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Furthermore, the students\u2019 position is in no way a radical one. Internationally recognized institutions such as ICC and Amnesty International <a href=\"https:\/\/amnesty.ca\/gazagenocide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">have backed the South African case<\/a> of an ongoing genocide in Gaza and the unlawful and horrendous Israeli destruction of Occupied Palestine. Israel is directly violating international laws recognized and upheld by the Danish government.<\/p>\n<p>The presence of police inside the buildings on campus is an escalation that heightens the risk of panic and irrational reactions on the part of the students. The manner in which the protest was dissolved demonstrates a lack of understanding of the basic rights to voice disagreement with institutions of power in a democratic society.<\/p>\n<p>We find the increasing threat to the fundamental right to freedom of speech and to demonstrate, particularly when dissent is directed at the politics of the government and the rectorate, deeply problematic.<\/p>\n<h3>Guarantee it will not happen again<\/h3>\n<p>We are deeply troubled by the attack on the university\u2019s traditions and its role as a space for critical analysis, reflection and discussion. The UCPH has a long and impressive history of student protests. Only a few years ago, the occupation of the office of then dean of Humanities, Jesper Kallestrup, <a href=\"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/two-years-was-enough-dean-quits-faculty-of-humanities-management-team-up-for-replacement\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">went on for several weeks<\/a> without involving armed police.<\/p>\n<p><strong>READ ALSO:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/two-years-was-enough-dean-quits-faculty-of-humanities-management-team-up-for-replacement\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Two years was enough. Dean quits Faculty of Humanities. Management team up for replacement<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<p>We say no to the measures taken against the students and want guarantees that it will never happen again. We urge you, as responsible leaders, to strive in every possible way to avoid unnecessary escalation of peaceful protests, regardless of the topics addressed and the demands expressed by the students.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Your role is to mediate and<br \/>\nde-escalate<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>No matter who issues the order for the removal, you should defend the staff and students at your campus. Your role is to mediate and de-escalate the conflict and to prevent such scenes where students are dragged forcefully out of the building of their own educational institution.<\/p>\n<p>When the safety and security of both staff and students is threatened it has a direct consequence on our work environment and the conditions for both teaching and doing research.<\/p>\n<p>With concerned regards<br

Students affiliated with Students against the Occupation were forcefully dragged out from the building and had \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DDK4UovNidX\/?img_index=10\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">according to themselves<\/a> \u2013 their computers confiscated and their university cards blocked.<\/p>\n<p><strong>READ ALSO:<\/strong><em> <a href=\"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/no-more-tent-camps-and-sock-protests-students-against-the-occupation-evicted-by-the-police\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">No more tent camps and sock protests: Students against the Occupation evicted by the police<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Many of them are currently facing the risk of suspension, even though most of them were just sitting there studying amid the protest.<\/p>\n<h3>On the Right Side of History<\/h3>\n<p>It is well known from the study of social movements that studies and protests are inherently related in the late modern history of Western academic education.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The UCPH<br \/>\nhas a long and impressive<br \/>\nhistory of<br \/>\nstudent<br \/>\nprotests<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>As in the case of the encampment in May and June at the City Campus, the students were protesting peacefully against the academic collaborations between UCPH and Israeli institutions. That is in direct continuation of the call for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/world\/2021\/may\/23\/israel-apartheid-boycotts-sanctions-south-africa\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">boycott of South African universities<\/a> in the 1960\u2019s and 1980\u2019s. As many academics and students across the globe are doing today, the students at UCPH are calling for an academic boycott of Israeli universities, due to their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mayaywind.com\/book\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">proven complicity<\/a> in the ongoing genocide in Gaza.<\/p>\n<p>The students have been gathering weekly in the university hall throughout fall, while intensifying the encampment on the 26th of November. When they were forcefully evicted from campus on the 3rd of December, they had been there for a couple of days and some of us had been visiting them, having lunch with them and been listening to the readings of poetry they arranged.<\/p>\n<p>Most of the time, the students were working on their exams while disseminating information about the call for academic boycott. All in all, activities that are in no way against the practice that students or staff are supposed to undertake at a university campus.<\/p>\n<p>Instead of calling the police and evicting the peaceful student gathering, the leadership of the university should acknowledge and appreciate the formal and informal meetings organized by students as a constructive way of engaging with matters of concern.<\/p>\n<h3>Socks and a touch of humor<\/h3>\n<p>The students\u2019 occupation of the hall was carried out peacefully, in socks \u2013 a humorous nod to <a href=\"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/rektor-studenteraktivisme-boer-foelge-stroempefods-princippet\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the rector\u2019s speech<\/a> at the annual celebration, in which he distinguished between considerate and illegitimate student protests.<\/p>\n<p><strong>READ ALSO:<\/strong> <em><a href=\"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/rektor-studenteraktivisme-boer-foelge-stroempefods-princippet\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Rector&#8217;s speech at the annual celebration: Student activism must pass the &#8216;sock test&#8217;<\/a> <\/em>(in Danish)<\/p>\n<p>What was not peaceful was the way in which the students\u2019 activities were met with a forceful silencing of public and academic conversation regarding one of the most pressing international conflicts \u2013 a conflict many of our students and colleagues are deeply affected by. What the Students against the Occupation are doing is raising their voice with this commonly shared concern.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The students\u2019 position is in no way a radical one<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Furthermore, the students\u2019 position is in no way a radical one. Internationally recognized institutions such as ICC and Amnesty International <a href=\"https:\/\/amnesty.ca\/gazagenocide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">have backed the South African case<\/a> of an ongoing genocide in Gaza and the unlawful and horrendous Israeli destruction of Occupied Palestine. Israel is directly violating international laws recognized and upheld by the Danish government.<\/p>\n<p>The presence of police inside the buildings on campus is an escalation that heightens the risk of panic and irrational reactions on the part of the students. The manner in which the protest was dissolved demonstrates a lack of understanding of the basic rights to voice disagreement with institutions of power in a democratic society.<\/p>\n<p>We find the increasing threat to the fundamental right to freedom of speech and to demonstrate, particularly when dissent is directed at the politics of the government and the rectorate, deeply problematic.<\/p>\n<h3>Guarantee it will not happen again<\/h3>\n<p>We are deeply troubled by the attack on the university\u2019s traditions and its role as a space for critical analysis, reflection and discussion. The UCPH has a long and impressive history of student protests. Only a few years ago, the occupation of the office of then dean of Humanities, Jesper Kallestrup, <a href=\"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/two-years-was-enough-dean-quits-faculty-of-humanities-management-team-up-for-replacement\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">went on for several weeks<\/a> without involving armed police.<\/p>\n<p><strong>READ ALSO:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/two-years-was-enough-dean-quits-faculty-of-humanities-management-team-up-for-replacement\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Two years was enough. Dean quits Faculty of Humanities. Management team up for replacement<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<p>We say no to the measures taken against the students and want guarantees that it will never happen again. We urge you, as responsible leaders, to strive in every possible way to avoid unnecessary escalation of peaceful protests, regardless of the topics addressed and the demands expressed by the students.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Your role is to mediate and<br \/>\nde-escalate<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>No matter who issues the order for the removal, you should defend the staff and students at your campus. Your role is to mediate and de-escalate the conflict and to prevent such scenes where students are dragged forcefully out of the building of their own educational institution.<\/p>\n<p>When the safety and security of both staff and students is threatened it has a direct consequence on our work environment and the conditions for both teaching and doing research.<\/p>\n<p>With concerned regards<br
