## Resource

A doctoral student at Indiana University is suing the university and its Jewish Studies director, Gunther Jikeli, claiming her First Amendment rights were violated after she used a pro-Palestine profile picture. She was removed from a virtual workshop, denied travel funding despite committee approval, and faced a new policy banning profile images—all allegedly in retaliation. The lawsuit highlights broader concerns about academic freedom and campus speech under pressure from the Israel-Gaza conflict, as students and advocates warn of a chilling effect on free expression.
