Today we disrupted @uniofwarwick ’s Open Day to demand it cuts ties with arms companies and Israel’s genocide against Gaza 🇵🇸 Thank you to everyone who joined. We loved getting to know prospective students, many of whom shared our anger at university’s refusal to divest

on March 27 we wrote to the Decolonise Warwick Experience Conference team to ask if we could organise an interactive panel on Palestine, to discuss the University's complicity in the ongoing genocide. Our proposal was rejected. A 🧵 (1/n)

we reject the notion that discussing the university's complicity in genocide is controversial, instead, we feel that it is the complicity itself that is controversial, and that a crucial aspect of decolonial work is discussing and resisting this. (7/n)

we feel like this is yet another example of trying to silence solidarity with palestine in UK higher education settings, and we find it particularly troubling in light of the fact that the conference is meant to be on 'decolonial practice' (5/n)

the conference is meant to 'connect people across the University who are passionate about decolonial practice, anti-racist pedagogy, and student activism'; with sessions on 'decolonising the academy' and 'building an anti-racist university' amongst others. (2/n)

decolonial work is inherently divisive, because it (at its best) challenges the existing power structures. trying to do this work while avoiding difficult conversations and silencing dissent, depoliticises decolonisation of HE and robs it of its transformative potential. (8/n)

we hope that the organisers will reconsider. standing up for palestine and speaking out about injustice and structures which enable apartheid and genocide is a form of decolonial practice; and this should not be yet another space in which these conversations are silenced. (10/10)

finally, SSSN is one of the only student-staff activist groups on campus, and as such, excluding us is at odds with the conference's professed commitment to promote student activism. (9/n)

Thanks everyone for sharing our anger and letting us know we're not alone in feeling decolonisation of unis should be more than tea and rhetoric. Still no reply to our e-mail, so if you could let @uniofwarwick know that you think this is unacceptable that would be awesome!

The thing is, as faculty, when you stand with (and spend time with) students who are organising and occupying and creating actions on campus, you enter into a version of the university that is infinitely more inspiring than the one that the uni bosses want us to inhabit

In October our Demilitarisation WG wrote an open letter that was signed by over 550 students and staff. We delivered it to Uni, who have been ignoring it since. We have now drafted a second letter & are sending this it in a week & after which we will be escalating our campaign.

While the Australian legal context is somewhat different than the legal framework in the uk, this is still a really excellent and relevant read about the potential complicity of universities in the ongoing genocide in Gaza.
