'Rally for Palestine' held at Georgia Southern's Statesboro and Armstrong campuses

Editor's note: This article has been updated to include information about Gulfstream's special missions aircraft.

For the second time this week, peaceful protests occurred on both Georgia Southern University campuses ― this time, the gatherings sparked by pro-Palestinian movements at colleges and universities across the nation.

On the Statesboro campus

An hour or so into a pro-Palestinian rally at Georgia Southern University in Statesboro, chants of "1-2-3-4, we don't want your bloody war" from the pro-Palestinian students and "USA USA USA" from a small group of counter-protestors mingled briefly. Despite that, the rally remained peaceful, a contrast to some of the pro-Palestinian protests and encampments on college campuses across the nation.

Many of those protests have stemmed from students wanting their universities to divest from companies owned by or associated with Israel, such as Lockheed Martin, Boeing, Alphabet and Amazon.

One of the organizers of the Statesboro protest, Logan Collins, a sophomore in anthropology, said that wasn't their goal Thursday afternoon.

"We've had some other events on campus already and this is our final one just to show students that we do have support for this cause," Collins said. "Also, to show support for protests across the nation. We have no reason to ask for divestment, and this is just us showing our support for Palestinian students on campus, for now."

Other students shared the sentiment. Sierra Shumake, another organizer who said seeing the "atrocities committed since October 7 by the IDF on the Palestinian people will never leave me."

Ella Cendrowski, a third-year student from the Savannah College of Art and Design, drove the hour west to participate in what she thought would be a larger, more centralized protest than what they could organize at SCAD.

The rally drew about 50 people, 20 more than the sit-in organized by Collins and Shumake in January, and lasted for an hour-and-a-half under the outdoor Russell Union Rotunda. Students handed out pamphlets that discuss the developing famine in Gaza, an informational sheet with the number of deaths in the Israel-Hamas wa r and a page full of QR codes for students to call their congressional representatives. Several students came up and read poems or essays they wrote.

Just a few feet from where students held signs reading, "CEASEFIRE NOW" and "FREE PALESTINE," Jacob Russell sat alone under the shade of a tree in a lawn chair, his speaker blaring country music whenever someone spoke.

"I'm really just here to show my support and love for America and American values and stuff like that," Russell said. "I think that the people who are for the free Palestine movement got it wrong. I don't believe Israel is committing genocide; I think they're protecting their people and doing what needs to be done."

Slowly Russell was joined by other students, mostly those who saw what was happening and just decided to stop and stand with him. Landon Donowenby was one of those students, and made a quick poster that said, "PUT OUR COUNTRY FIRST."

"I just saw everything that's gone down on campuses over the past week, and I thought it was a bunch of bullcrap," Donowenby said. "I think we should be more worried about the economic downfall of our country instead of somebody else. [Palestinian's] have their own army; they can go fight if they want."

Heath, a student who declined to use his last name for safety reasons, said his entire family is Jewish, and believes people should be protesting the Israel soldiers instead of all of Israel. One pro-Palestinian student spoke about being anti-Zionist in his speech, which led Heath to believe the student protestors were targeting Jewish people.

"They need to be targeting the IDF, which is the main perpetrator of all this," Heath said. "Instead, they're targeting Jewish people and the state of Israel who have nothing to do with the military, and most of them just want peace and unity."

While the groups mostly stayed to their respective sides, a few counter-protestors went under the rotunda and waved their American or Israeli flags to the shouts and claps of their friends.

When the rallies started to wrap, the counter-protestors began praying for the pro-Palestinian's while the protestors went into their last chant.

"It's interesting, I mean, they weren't out here until we were, and we're not saying anything against Israel or Jewish people or being antisemitic in any sense," said Slater Barlow, a sophomore. "It's just for a Free Palestine and to end the occupation, and if they feel the need to be pro-American, pro-Israel, then you know, that's just where they stand."

A few campus police and staff were present. Vice President for Student Affairs Shay Little said they encourage students to engage and get involved but make sure it's a respectful event. 

On the Armstrong campus

Roughly 80 students and community members gathered on GSU Armstrong campus in Savannah for a planned “Rally for Palestine.” The rally took place on the Student Union lawn, starting around 12:30 p.m.

A student who asked to be identified only as Nijma, said no official group had organized the event. She later was the main speaker at what ultimately remained a peaceful rally. The stated purpose of the rally was not immediately clear and depended on whom was asked.

Laila Abdallah, a representative of Savannah4Palestine , said the rally was for awareness and engagement aimed at “continuing to amplify the message around a free Palestine.”

GSU student Grace Miller, an International Studies and Sustainability Science freshman, identified as Jewish and pro-Palestinian. Her reasons for attending the rally (she did not want to speak for the group) was to advocate for peace. When asked about some of the attendees’ signs and chants that stated, “ From the River to the sea , Palestine will be free,” Miller said, “I think that is actually a peaceful statement.” She took out a self-made pamphlet that featured an image of Israel and Gaza with a section of it highlighted in green representing what used to be Palestine. “I, personally, am pro two-state solution.”

Abdallah, however, later said a two-state solution is a “whole other conversation.” She cited that May 15 is the 76 th anniversary of what is known as the Nakba, or the Catastrophe, which was a mass displacement of Palestinians from their land in 1948. She said that was when "outsiders came into the country of Palestine and began the process of displacing, forcibly, the natives that lived there, which are the Palestinians."

Chants led by Nijma consisted of familiar phrases being said on campuses around the country, including, “Expose, divest. We will not stop, we will not rest.” When asked what divestments students wished for Georgia Southern to make, Abdallah and Miller said there were not aware of a specific list, but both did mention Gulfstream. A sign at the rally claimed Gulfstream makes warplanes.

Savannah Morning News has reached out to Gulfstream for clarification. The company's Special Missions webpage states, "Gulfstream has delivered 200+ special missions aircraft to support governments and militaries in 40+ countries." These aircraft are used for cargo transport, recon and surveillance. General Dynamics , a major United States defense contractor, is the parent company of Gulfstream.

Associate Vice President and Dean of Students Aileen Dowell found out about the rally on Monday. She was attending as a “student affairs representative and also a university administrator representative.” She stressed the importance of and the right for students to have their voices heard. "We're here to provide the utmost services and ensure that our students are successful even as we journey into the final week of classes." She also stated that GSU police department officers were on standby as they are for “any other major events that we have or any just day-to-day patrols up on site.” Officers remained in the background as the rally unfolded.

One instance of conflict arose as a single student walking across the Student Union lawn yelled at the rally attendees, saying “It's not their land” before she headed into the Student Union building. It’s not exactly clear who she was referring to exactly.

Also in attendance was Rania Afaneh, a life-long Savannahian, who said she returned from Gaza three days ago. She was not sure if she could name the organization she volunteered with, but reached out to see if she could. During a speech at the rally and afterward with Savannah Morning News, Afenah stated that she was a volunteer EMT who spent six weeks on missions serving in various hospitals in the south and north of Gaza. She talked about working on patients as drones flew overhead and bombs exploded nearby. She shared a story about how a badly injured baby was overlooked at one hospital until she approached it only to discover that the child had passed.

Afaneh attended predominantly to spread awareness of the Palestinians' suffering in Gaza. She also shared a message that she said was from Palestinian people she met along her journey. “Nothing is enough until we stop the war. They don't want food. They don't want medical supplies. They don't want anything except for the war to stop. Because if the war stopped, they wouldn't need any of this stuff.”

The rally wound down around 1:30 p.m. and the crowd dispersed without incident.

GSU student sit-in: Georgia Southern students protest removal of LGBTQIA+ training program

Georgia Southern students protest removal of LGBTQIA+ training program, offer demands

Students at Georgia Southern University's (GSU) Statesboro and Armstrong campuses led sit-ins on Monday to protest changes to the University System of Georgia's (USG) protocols regarding access to LGBTQIA+ resources and services.

These changes stem from updates to USG's Human Resources Administrative Practice General Criteria for Employment policy instituted on July 1, 2023. That change has resulted in the removal of the optional Safe Space/Zone training , a workshop offered by a third-party that trained staff, faculty, and sometimes, students about queer identities and allyship.

Students claimed that around the same time the program was removed from campus and online, other LGTBQIA+ resources became harder to access through GSU's website. In an email statement sent on April 25, USG's administration wrote, "The University is undergoing a website redesign to provide an improved user interface and experience, streamlining content so that audiences can easily access the information they need."

GSU's Executive Vice President – Enrollment Management, Marketing, and Student Success Alejandra Sosa Pieroni said the website redesign has been going on since September 2023 as the university culls 100k pages of content down to less than 10,000.

While students claim erasure of LGBTQIA+ services, administrators claim policy changes and IT maintenance. Regardless of the narrative, the sit-ins were peaceful and brought attention to LGBTQIA+ resources on campus. No incidents of violence or arrests were reported.

Students concerns and demands

According to a student-written open letter posted by Boro Pride on April 24, GSU students from both campuses claimed "a vast majority of signage, resources, and programs offered by Georgia Southern University used to affirm and support LGBTQIA+ individuals on campus were rapidly removed from physical and digital campus resources."

Boro Pride is a Statesboro-based nonprofit organization, established in 2019, that advocates for LGBTQIA+ populations in communities throughout Georgia. The statement ends by claiming that GSU's "actions to reduce LGBTQIA+ visibility and access to services contradict the principles of equity, inclusion, and diversity that the institution purports to uphold, undermining a sense of community and safety for all members of the campus."

GSU's April 25 email to students, faculty and staff responded to that particular point: "All services and programs offered to our students – including those offered by the Counseling and Health Centers – remain available to you, and there has been no change to these services and programs."

Safe Zone training was removed, however.

Students also once were able to access resources through a university webpage dedicated to LGBTQIA+ information. When students try to access that link, they are now directed to GSU's Inclusive Excellence page, which does not provide direct links to university LGTBQIA+ information nor does it contain any LGBTQIA+ language.

Specific services and resources are now found at GSU's Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies program page under "Students" and then "Student Resources."

Sosa Pieron said students can also access the services and resources via the university's intranet. Multiple students at the sit-in claimed to not know what the intranet was. Sosa Pieroni explained that the disconnect is likely because the intranet was designed to be "seamless," meaning students would not necessarily know if they were on it when accessing webpages on campus. She said GSU continues to work with IT on Google Analytics to increase search engine optimization, because older or "broken links" may have caused students to be unable to access certain pages.

This explanation may underpin students' perceived erasure of LGBTQIA+ resources, but not the circumstances surrounding Safe Zone's removal.

As reported last week by GSU's student newspaper The George-Anne, President Kyle Marrero asserted during the most recent Faculty Senate meeting that USG's General Criteria for Employment policy update necessitated the training's removal. Page 8 of the policy states that "no institution training may include affirmations, ideological tests, or oaths (including diversity statements)."

Annalee Ashley, GSU's vice president for external affairs, communications, and strategic initiatives and chief of staff to the president, said Safe Space/Zone "as branded...trains individuals to support, accept and affirm LGBTQ+ populations without sufficient clarity that the training refers to activity within the scope of your government job."

According to GSU officials, the student's perception that LGBTQIA+ resources, paraphernalia, and signage is being systemically removed is simply not the case.

Professor of Sociology in GSU's College of Behavioral and Social Sciences Nancy Malcom teaches in the Women's, Gender and Sexuality Studies program at the Statesboro campus. She said, "It's important to listen to students is what I've learned over the years...what they see, what they hear and what they experience is valid."

Malcom, who has taken the Safe Zone training twice (once in 2008 and again, after an update, in 2013) said she did not recall the training requiring oaths or affirmations. She conceded the training may have been updated since 2013 but stated that fellow faculty who have more recently taken it told her there was no oath or affirmation requirement.

The Savannah Morning News (SMN) has reached out the Safe Space/Zone for clarification but has yet to receive a response.

Students used Monday's protest to share how they feel the changes "undermine equity, diversity and social justice," according to a flier passed out to attendees. Beyond the resource removals, the flier cited additional student and faculty concerns, such as:

• Notice was given that student hosted drag events would no longer be permitted on campus
• Pride flags removed from GSU bookstore shelves
• University staff being asked to remove LGBTQIA+-affirming signage from public spaces, such as pride flags and stickers indicating their offices as Safe Spaces for LGBTQIA+ individuals

SMN is looking into the validity of each of these claims.

Statesboro Campus

Among the hundreds of students who attended the sit-in at Russell Union student center was Ellen Murphy, a third year grad student who coordinated the Statesboro effort.

According to Murphy students and faculty were particularly alarmed by a statement issued last week by Director of University Communications Jenifer Wise that said GSU was in the process of creating a "new training that will educate our community on values of civility and mutual respect, open debate and discourse, as well as individual freedoms and protections under the law.”

Murphy said students and faculty took issue with lack of specifics regarding what those changes might be, who would be making them and when a new training module would be available. “That lack of transparency creates a vague space,” Murphy said.

Assistant Professor of International and Political Sciences Kate Perry, who also participated in the Safe Zone Training when it was available, said GSU was probably going to draw inspiration from the University of Georgia’s (UGA) Dawg Ally , a training workshop similar to Safe Space created by UGA.  

“You need a specific type of training to help LGBTQ+ individuals, and that’s what we were getting with Safe Zone, and that’s not what UGA does,” Perry said. She claims UGA's program is "very surface-level and basic.”  

Caleb Owen, a junior in theater at GSU said he wants a training to come back, and he supports taking it away to revise it and make it better.

Armstrong Campus in Savannah

More than 60 students and community members showed at the Armstrong campus student union. One student, who asked to only be identified only as Ro, said students want GSU to readopt Safe Zone or offer a similar program. Ro also reiterated claims that LGBTQIA+ or "pride" merchandise was removed from the university store.

Sosa Pieroni said, "That's untrue. Nothing has been removed from any of our libraries or bookstores."

Ro said she and some students went to the university store the other day and the "pride merch was nowhere to be found." On Monday, a table with LGBTQIA+ pride merchandise was featured just inside the door and across from the checkout counter at the university bookstore.

Melanie Acosta, an accelerated freshman who plans to join the nursing college next fall, said, "The problem that we are addressing is that the accessibility to the marketing of it [LGBTQIA+ resources and services] has been taken away. If students don't know it's there, how are they supposed to use it?" She was most concerned about incoming freshman not being aware of LGBTQIA+ student groups and organizations.

Alyssa Klas, a graduate student protestor studying Experimental Psychology, said (along with Acosta) that students had never received a communication about the removal of the Safe Zone training or plans to reinstitute an updated training prior to Boro Pride's posting of the April 24 open letter.

GSU faculty member David Bringman, who attended to support students, said the first communication he had received from GSU leadership about any of the changes came on April 25. The email to which he referred was the university's April 25 response to the students' April 24 open letter.

Representatives from Deep Center Savannah and Cultivate Savannah were present on the Armstrong campus while Human Rights Campaign representatives attended in Statesboro to offer support. No official student or community group claimed responsibility for organizing the sit-ins, but students said they were part of a coalition of students and community members.

This is a developing story.

All-Conference star Terren Ward set to transfer to Mississippi State from Georgia Southern

Another addition to the 2024-25 Mississippi State women’s basketball roster is in for coach Sam Purcell.

Georgia Southern’s Terren Ward announced her commitment to the Bulldogs on Tuesday. As reported by Maroon and White Daily on Sunday afternoon, Ward was on campus over the weekend for an official visit and would choose State. Prior to her visit to MSU, she took an official to Georgia but would cancel her next two visits to Clemson and Pittsburgh after visiting Starkville.

Ward played for current State assistant Anita Howard but has been a Bulldog target prior to Howard’s arrival to the staff. The standout 5’11 guard was one of the top players in the Sun Belt Conference this season after landing four conference Player of the Week honors.

In four years, Ward earned Sun Belt Freshman of the Year honors, Sixth Woman of the Year and a second-team All-Sun Belt as a sophomore and first-team selection each of the last two years.

She finished her career there playing in 106 games, starting in 69 contests, shooting 41% from the field, 35% from 3-point range and 77% from the line. Ward scored 1,746 points, pulled down 802 rebounds and had 188 assists with 186 steals over the course of her career.

It was a great career at Georgia Southern but her senior season was exceptional. Ward averaged 22.0 points per game and pulled down 9.1 rebounds while dishing out 1.9 assists a game for her team this year in 29 games played. Amazingly, she scored 20 or more points in 21 of the 29 games played with just two contests all year in single digits.

Despite her guard tag, Ward had 14 double-doubles on the season. She put together 10-straight games of 20 or more points in the middle of the season and had a career-high 35 points against Appalachian State while grabbing 11 rebounds.

After averaging 7.9 points and 4.6 boards her on the way to Freshman of the Year honors in the Sun Belt, Ward was Sixth Woman of the year in 2021-22 with 15.3 points and 7.6 boards. She had 18.4 points a game last year while rebounding at an 8.2 clip.

Ward joins a State roster that is coming together now. The Bulldogs have picked up transfer portal players and guards Eniya Russell from Kentucky, Chandler Prater from Oklahoma State and point guard Denim DeShields to go along with Ward.

With the addition of Ward in her final season of eligibility, State is up to 13 roster players for the 2024-25 season with the inclusion of three freshmen on their way into the program this summer.
