I was a research fellow at the Kroc Institute last year. I am horrified and profoundly disappointed that the University has rescinded Dr. Abdelhadi's invitation to speak about Palestine at a student peace conference. I have joined many others in emailing the Dean and Provost.

Dear Dr. Abdelhadi, The Keough School of Global Affairs, which houses the Kroc Institute for International Peace Studies, recently learned of your keynote speech at their student conference next weekend. The University of Notre Dame requires that all events or lectures related to Israel/Palestine have ND Police security and planning. We were unaware of your planned lecture, and since this conference overlaps with two other annual events on campus, we cannot provide security at short notice. For this reason, we respectfully request that you do not participate in the conference. The Kroc Institute will honor any honorarium that was awarded for this event. We apologize for any inconvenience. Sincerely, Mary Gallagher -- Mary E. Gallagher Marilyn Keough Dean Keough School of Global Affairs University of Notre Dame
