In light of recent actions targeting graduate students at institutions of higher education across the United States, the Berkeley Public Policy Journal has felt compelled to remove a selection of student-authored articles from our website in the interest of protecting the safety of our contributors and the students named in the articles.
Ultimately, our foremost priority is the protection and well-being of our peers. We are dispirited that we must take these preemptive measures, but acknowledge that the current atmosphere restricts freedom of speech for those who hold views outside of what is currently deemed by many aspolitically acceptable.
Other articles from the affected journal editions remain available on our website. We appreciate your understanding and support as we navigate these challenging times.
