Anti-occupation course reinstated at UC Berkley

Just one week after the University of California, Berkeley, suspended the student-led course, "Palestine: A Settler Colonial Analysis," the Bay Area university has decided to reinstate the class, according to The Guardian.

The university said the course does not cross the line into political advocacy and organizing and that it is purely educational.

The course sponsor is US-born Palestinian Paul Hadweh stated.

“I’m hoping that this will make the administration think twice before they respond to outside political pressure," Hadweh said, adding the controversy over the course inspired students in the course.

“I never imagined students would be so eager to do reading,” he explained.
