A civil rights group is calling on the University of Florida to reverse its decision to suspend a student who was arrested after a pro-Palestinian protest, arguing that hastily imposed campus policies raised constitutional concerns. 

The Philadelphia-based Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE) sent a six-page letter to university President Ben Sasse on July 3, outlining its concerns about the suspension of Keely Gliwa, who had been set to graduate with a masters degree in biochemistry and molecular biology.

“We strongly urge UF to immediately reverse Gliwa’s suspension, award her completed degree and revise its new protest rules to conform with UF’s constitutional and statutory obligations,” FIRE’s letter states.
