From Police Intervention to a Campus Debate
Campus debate in Paris and the national protest record.
Sciences Po’s médialab reported that management called police to remove students gathered in solidarity with Palestine on April 24, 2024. The lab criticized that response and called for dialogue. On May 2, Sciences Po held a debate with eight student organizations. The two accounts document distinct responses within the same institution.
