Following a petition submitted jointly by ACRI and representatives of Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, the Beersheba District Court ordered the university in April to cancel its regulation forbidding students from demonstrating about political or controversial issues on campus. The petition was submitted when a group of students from the Beersheba university were prevented from protesting the violation of rights of university employees. This victory constitutes a critical precedent which will safeguard the civil rights of all current and future Ben-Gurion University students and employees.
