KAGEE, Ashraf  e  MANJRA, Shuaib. Yes, our universities should take a stand against genocide. S. Afr. j. sci. [online]. 2025, vol.121, n.3-4, pp.1-2. ISSN 1996-7489.  https://doi.org/10.17159/sajs.2025/20610.

SIGNIFICANCE: This article is a response to a perspective that universities should be neutral in the context of genocide. We argue that the academy is not a value-free space and that intellectual pursuits must be informed by a commitment to human rights. As such, universities must be spaces of critical pedagogy and engaged scholarship, where teaching and learning must support the quest for better, egalitarian, and more just societies. It is therefore incumbent on tertiary institutions to take a clear stand against the genocide occurring in Gaza and call for a just peace in Palestine.
