This university claims to be pro-justice. So why is it banning Palestine activism?
After a four-year legal battle, Fordham University is still refusing to allow a Palestinian rights club on campus. But students are not letting up.

Veer Shetty wants what hundreds of other college students have: a school club that speaks out for Palestine on campus.
Shetty grew up in Ann Arbor, Michigan, with a close Palestinian friend who told him horror stories about the Israeli occupation. So when he started school at New York’s Fordham University, he was determined to get active in the struggle for Palestinian rights.
