The New Face of Academic Freedom?

September 28, 2024 | AMEU | Current Issue

Starting in Columbia University and rolling out across the country and beyond, college students organized in Spring 2024 to demand ceasefire, transparency, and halts to arms transfers to Israel. With accounts from Haverford, Georgetown and the University of Connecticut, and overview commentaries from USC and University of San Francisco, this issue of The Link documents the character of the encampment protests in 2024, and the draconian and tonedeaf response from college administrators and large donors. In an era where governments failed abjectly to protect innocent lives from the deadly actions of a rogue state, students stepped forward and lead by example.

The Time for Pious Words is Over

June 25, 2024 | AMEU | Current Issue

Against the unrelenting backdrop of Gaza, The Link issue 57.2 asks, "Where are the voices of the American churches...?" Baptists, Catholics, Evangelicals and Anglicans have all been challenged by the horror of Gaza. We sample from those pulpits and join people of good will everywhere for an end to violence and for the justice that will breed peace. This issue's pages are graced by Sliman Mansour's iconic art, and close by saying goodbye to Fr. Ed Dillon, who was one of a kind. (Authors: Ashlee Wiest-Laird, Gary Burge, Bruce Fisk, David Crump, Wendell Griffen, Allan Aubrey Boesak, and H.E. Michel Sabbah)
