Dear Dr. Abdelhadi,



The Keough School of Global Affairs, which houses the Kroc Institute for International Peace Studies, recently learned of your keynote speech at their student conference next weekend. The University of Notre Dame requires that all events or lectures related to Israel/Palestine have ND Police security and planning.  We were unaware of your planned lecture, and since this conference overlaps with two other annual events on campus, we cannot provide security at short notice. For this reason, we respectfully request that you do not participate in the conference. The Kroc Institute will honor any honorarium that was awarded for this event. We apologize for any inconvenience. 



Sincerely,

Mary Gallagher

I was scheduled to give a talk on Palestine at a student conference at @notredame.bsky.social. The University rescinded my talk a week in advance citing an extremely flimsy excuse. It is truly disgusting. Attached is the letter I received and my reply, link below...

The mother of Egyptian activist Alaa Abdel Fattah, Dr. Laila Soueif, has been on hunger strike since September 30 when authorities failed to release Alaa despite the completion of his prison term.

Folks in DC will join her in solidarity by selecting a 24-hr period between December 2 and 7.
