A pro-Palestinian campus group at Northwestern University said the medical school scrubbed photos of Arab students, some of whom were wearing traditional headdresses, from several social media platforms.
In an Instagram post over the weekend, the university’s chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine said some of the photos taken at a school event earlier this year showed medical students wearing keffiyehs, a garment widely known to symbolize solidarity with the Palestinian people. They were deleted from Flickr, an online photo-sharing platform.
The group also said officials at the university’s Feinberg School of Medicine removed photos of Arab students from its official Instagram page. In an open letter to school administrators, the club demanded a public apology and an investigation into the incident.
