“We are serious about welcoming students that have been suspended from U.S. universities for supporting Palestinians,” an official at Sanaa University, which is run by the Houthis, told Reuters. “We are fighting this battle with Palestine in every way we can.”

Sanaa University had issued a statement applauding the “humanitarian” position of the students in the United States and said they could continue their studies in Yemen.

“The board of the university condemns what academics and students of U.S. and European universities are being subjected to, suppression of freedom of expression,” the board of the university said in a statement, which included an email address for any students wanting to take up their offer.

    I mean I like the sentiment but aren’t they only suspended? I don’t think anyone will be expelled.

      I mean, if you think the people in power are going to end their suspension at some point, I have oceanfront property in Kansas to sell you. They questioned the status quo, they need to be used as an example.

        I mean this is just Vietnam lite. We can see what happened then, but yes I do think they’ll be unsuspended. That’s why it’s a suspension.
