ACLU sues University of Michigan over bans on pro-Palestinian protests

News summary

The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has filed a lawsuit against the University of Michigan, challenging its trespass bans imposed on students involved in pro-Palestine protests. The lawsuit claims these bans violate the First Amendment rights of the affected individuals by restricting their ability to express political views on campus. The bans, which prevent students from accessing university property, have been criticized for being issued without clear guidelines and due process, allowing potential abuse of authority. The ACLU argues that the university's policy disproportionately targets pro-Palestine activists compared to other protest groups. In response, the ACLU is seeking a preliminary injunction to lift the bans during the legal proceedings and ensure fair treatment of student protesters in the future. The University of Michigan has yet to respond substantively to the lawsuit, as it has not been officially served.
