TLDR: Without due process, Dartmouth has suspended a second pro-Palestine student activist for protesting. Please sign this petition to pressure Dartmouth College to overturn these suspensions.

Roan V. Wade was placed on interim suspension from the college immediately after the sit-in for their alleged participation. That day, the administration also sent out a calculated email to campus, parents, and alumni misrepresenting the sit-in as violent, precisely to justify cracking down on Roan. House professors, the only non-administrator observers allowed into building, wrote an email to the administration afterwards denouncing claims of violence and claiming the protest "aligned with a long tradition both on and off campus."

When the Black Alumni of Dartmouth Association (BADA) attempted to share student accounts of the sit-in, the College revoked their email access, hijacked their account, and sent an email that doubled down on its own version of the events without consulting the Association, censoring the voices of Black alumni. 

On June 5, 2025, the administration placed a graduating senior, Jordan Narrol, on immediate suspension from the college based on her alleged presence in Parkhurt during the protest on May 28, a claim she has denied. These allegations were the product of racial profiling, stemming from Jordan's status as a Jewish activist who has been principled in her advocacy for Palestine. As with the college's suspension of Roan, the administration has provided no evidence of Jordan's presence at Parkhurt and has refused Jordan due process, even 10 days out from her anticipated graduation. Jordan is a low income student and this suspension has left Jordan without access to housing, food, and with the inability to complete her schoolwork and graduate on time.

Thus, in addition to the original demands of the petition, we demand that Dartmouth:

(4) Immediately overturn the suspension of Jordan Narrol.

On June 3rd, a group of six concerned and committed Dartmouth students have initiated an indefinite hunger strike in response to the administration’s ongoing complicity and its punitive stance toward student dissent. Jordan has joined the strike following her suspension on June 5th.
