Email

"We are outraged to learn that on April 6, Sana Javed, a leading activist, member of the Muslim Students' Association and a candidate with the Student Power Party, received a threatening e-mail from a classmate urging her to "withdraw from Middle Eastern Politics class" because of the role Javed played in helping to organize last month's Palestinian Solidarity Week. The e-mail stated that "if you don't withdraw, things could potentially get nasty" as the classmate is "loosing [sic] my ability to control myself in relations to you."" (thanks anonymous)
