EAST LANSING, Mich. (Michigan News Source) — Michigan State University’s first disciplinary case over Gaza protests lands a student in hot water after he led chants at a campus event featuring MSU President Kevin Guskiewicz.

Senior Eli Folts became the first student to face disciplinary action this week for protesting the school’s investments in Israel and weapons manufacturing.

The August demonstration, held during a campus event where Guskiewicz was speaking, has brought Folts before university investigators and could result in anything from a formal reprimand to a temporary suspension—or, in the most extreme and unlikely outcome, expulsion.

The complaint, filed by campus police, describes Folts as the “leader” of the Hurriya Coalition—a student group that’s spent two years calling for MSU to divest from defense contractors and Israeli firms. Folts says the charge is political, not procedural.

“I think what we’re seeing is the university testing the waters to see if they can get away with this,” he told supporters October 10th.

Until now, MSU has mostly sidestepped disciplinary action against its own students. For example, nineteen students arrested during a sit-in last spring had their charges dropped, and Guskiewicz even allowed an encampment to remain under permit.

That tolerance, however, may finally be wearing thin. Folts’ hearing is set for Nov. 4, the same day Michigan voters head to the polls—though his verdict may say more about MSU’s politics than its policies.
