Advocates for campus free expression and academic freedom say they’ve seen increased reports of squelched speech since Oct. 7 often following social media campaigns and political pressure. Maria Renata Gangemi, an associate professor of communication arts, allegedly shared on Facebook last month a political cartoon of an arm with red and white stripes, connected to a gloved hand with the white and blue colors and Star of David from Israel’s flag. The hand wielded a bloodied butcher’s knife, which had sliced thrice through the bloodied body of a baby wearing Palestinian colors. Each time the knife went through the infant, it cut into the “International Law” book the corpse lay atop.
