Article Summary

Duke University reinstated its Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) chapter after reviewing a controversial social media post that compared Zionism to US imperialism using an old Black Panther graphic. The university said the post was offensive but didn’t violate policies, so the suspension and funding freeze were lifted — though the post had to stay deleted. The article presents the decision as based on procedure, not politics, while downplaying questions about whether the image was genuinely antisemitic or protected political speech.
