Cornel West, Harvard Affiliates Call for University to Divest from ‘Israeli Apartheid’ at Rally
The first attempt at the University to form a committee to aid M.I.T. Professor Dirk Struik failed last night. Acting Secretary Stewart G. Bryant 2G had called a meeting of the 25 students who had previously signed a Dean's Office petition for the committee.
Of the 25 only two attended last night's meeting.
Bryant blamed the poor reception on a "fear of identification and possible labels of subversive activities." A committee to defend Struik has already been formed at M.I.T., but failed to receive recognition from Tech officials.
Struik was indicted by the Middlesex District Court for advocating the violent overthrow of the government of the United States.
Bryant announced that he still plans to have Struik speak at the University some time before Christmas. He added that as soon as he can gather enough support to pass a constitution and elect officers, he will file his petition for official recognition by the Dean's Office.
