Pro-Palestinian protestors at KU ordered to clear out in time for commencement

L AWRENCE, Kan. (KCTV) - All is calm outside of the University of Kansas ’ Fraser Hall after pro-Palestinian protestors were ordered to clear out Thursday afternoon. The university issued what it describes as a ‘final notice.’

This comes after three students were arrested on campus overnight Thursday in connection to pro-Palestinian protests. According to the university, the students entered the library and caused a disturbance while students were studying for finals.

In a statement, a spokesperson for KU says in part, “Over the past week, the University has allowed KU SJP to exercise its right to free speech. Student Affairs staff have repeatedly ensured KU SJP was aware of relevant policies and advised when the organization was in violation of these policies. The student organization has not reciprocated our good faith efforts.”

University officials explained the start of commencement activities is why they’re tightening up on the presence of protestors.

Graduating KU senior Zac Kitay says days ahead of his commencement, the silence on campus is something he embraces.

“I’m not necessarily surprised or disappointed,” said Kitay, “I figured that by the time graduation came this is mostly about graduates and about the University of Kansas, it’s not about the encampment.”

Over the past week, protestors called on the university to cut ties with companies that support Israel. Attorney General Kris Kobach issued a letter saying these demands were illegal.

“I don’t mind people protesting, speaking out for what they believe. It’s not an issue to me,” said KU Freshman Karlee Meyers.

Some students feel the university could have handled things differently.

“I definitely was disappointed with the way that they were being treated. They weren’t being violent in any sort of way. It is protected by the First Amendment that we have our freedom of speech,” said KU freshman Jessica Asseffee.

KU’s statement continues they are prepared to take action if there are any breaches in university policies. Commencement begins Sunday at 10:30 a.m.

Giselle Anatol named director of KU’s Hall Center for the Humanities

Thu, 02/29/2024

Mindie Paget

LAWRENCE — Giselle Anatol, professor of English, has been named director of the Hall Center for the Humanities at the University of Kansas, effective March 3. She has led the center in an interim capacity since former director Richard Godbeer retired in fall 2022. 

The Hall Center  is a focus of intellectual life for scholars in the humanities, arts and humanistic social sciences at KU and for members of the surrounding community. It is one of 11 designated research centers that fall under the  KU Office of Research .

“I am thrilled to have been selected for this leadership role at the university. During my time as interim director, I sought to promote the Hall Center as a flourishing, welcoming and inclusive space for the celebration and advancement of humanistic research and productivity,” Anatol said. “I very much look forward to continuing this work in collaboration with the many students, faculty, staff and community members who are invested in all that the humanities have to offer.” 

Under Anatol’s interim leadership, the Hall Center revived the Haunting Humanities festival, a public outreach event that encourages humanities scholars to practice articulating their research in fun and accessible ways for a wider audience. She resumed the Undergraduate Fellows Program, fostering greater undergraduate participation in the Hall Center’s scholarly activities and extending the reach of the thought-provoking conversations that occur during the center’s various programs.

Anatol also facilitated a small-scale version of the original Wheat State Whirlwind Tour , taking two dozen faculty and staff on a two-day visit to the Kansas communities of Lucas, Wilson and Nicodemus to explore different parts of the state, learn about each other’s lives and work, and engage with residents in rural communities.   

“I am grateful for Dr. Anatol’s leadership and vision for the Hall Center for the Humanities, which provides a unique and interdisciplinary home for scholars and students to engage in creative endeavors and public discourse,” said Belinda Sturm, interim vice chancellor for research. “KU has long-standing strength in humanities research, and Dr. Anatol is committed to expanding the impact of this research center.”

Anatol joined KU in 1998. Her research interests include Caribbean literature and folklore, U.S. African American literature, speculative fiction by authors of the African diaspora, and representations of race, ethnicity and gender in writing for youth. She has written “The Things That Fly in the Night: Female Vampires in Literature of the Circum-Caribbean and African Diaspora,” a book published in 2015 by Rutgers University Press, and a number of book chapters and peer-reviewed journal articles. She has also fostered scholarly collaboration by editing three collections of essays on children’s and young adult literature. Her most recent publication, “Small-Girl Toni and the Quest for Gold,” is a children’s book inspired by acclaimed African American author Toni Morrison.

Anatol has been recognized repeatedly for teaching and research excellence at KU, receiving the Louise Byrd Graduate Educator Award, the Frances L. Stiefel Teaching Professorship in English, the Ned Fleming Award for Excellence in Teaching, a Conger-Gabel Teaching Professorship and the English graduate student organization’s Mabel S. Fry Teaching Award in 2011 and in 2022. She was named one of KU’s Women of Distinction in 2013 and was selected for the New York Public Library’s Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture Scholar-in-Residence fellowship program in 2012.

Where Protesters on U.S. Campuses Have Been Arrested or Detained

By The New York Times

Police officers and university administrators have clashed with pro-Palestinian protesters on dozens of college campuses in recent weeks, arresting students, removing encampments and threatening academic consequences. More than 2,800 people have been arrested or detained on campuses across the country.

Campus protests where arrests and detainments have taken place since April 18

The fresh wave of student activism against the war in Gaza was sparked by the arrests of at least 108 protesters at Columbia University on April 18, after administrators appeared before Congress and promised a crackdown. Since then, tensions between protesters, universities and the police have risen, prompting law enforcement to take action in some of America’s largest cities.

An earlier version of this article misstated the number of arrests at Princeton University. There have been 15 arrests, not 14.
