Trip to bangladesh connects iu students, staff to locally-sold tea.

By Catherine Winkler

Monday, April 22, 2024

If you visit the Campus Cafe in the Wright building, you’ll find four flavors of Teatulia tea available for purchase. In March over spring break, three IU students and two staff members traveled to Bangladesh, where they visited the tea garden that tea is sourced from.

The trip was a collaboration between the IU School of Education and IU Dining. Katie Cierniak , Director of INSPIRE Living-Learning Center, and Rahul Shrivastav , Executive Director of IU Dining & Hospitality, accompanied students Anika Vinard, Sabine Thomas, and Kathleen Suelzer. The trip lasted 10 days, giving the group a chance to visit the tea garden run by the company Kazi & Kazi in the northernmost tip of Bangladesh and to immerse themselves in the local culture. It was a chance for all who went to see how they are connected to a community half a world away. 

“Bangladesh and India are so different from the U.S. in so many ways, and so it’s a lot to absorb. For all (the) students, it was their first time in that part of the world, and they really handled all of those changes with flexibility, understanding, and eagerness to get to know about everything there, not just about the tea,” Cierniak said.

Even though the students are studying different majors, there was something relevant to everybody on the trip - and it provided an opportunity to see how all of these things are affected. Schooling doesn’t happen in a vacuum, Cierniak pointed out, adding the experience helped answer the question of how the tea garden was connected to higher education in the U.S. 

Vinard, who is majoring in special education/elementary education, had never flown internationally prior to the trip. While in Bangladesh, she spoke with the women who worked at the tea garden and helped local children build butterflies out of pipe cleaners during a craft activity.

“It was a different way of interacting with kids than I'd ever experienced, and it changed my thinking on what all schools have and how they teach kids,” she said. “Being able to go to a country where English isn't the predominant language and be the minority was interesting because we got to see things and experience things that others experience all the time in the US. I would do it 10 times over because it was beautiful and it changed one of my perspectives.”

Thomas, an International Studies major at the Hamilton Lugar School of Global and International Studies, had extra interest in the trip as the president of Fair Trade at IU : “I was especially honored to visit Bangladesh's first and only Fair Trade tea garden. It made me proud to know that IU supports such a wonderful garden. Its impacts on the environment and the local community are truly outstanding!”

I would do it 10 times over because it was beautiful and it changed one of my perspectives. Anika Vinard

Kathleen Suelzer applied to go on the trip because as an Environmental Sustainability Studies major, she is interested in sustainable agriculture as well as how climate impacts are affecting developing countries such as Bangladesh. 

“We got to see up-close how tea is plucked by the women who have been plucking it for decades. We even got a chance to pluck some tea, and it was not easy to do,” Suelzer explained. “I was really impacted hearing from women in the community how Kazi and Kazi’s cattle lending program that offers cows in the form of loans helps build up women. We had amazing food and hospitality from Kazi and Kazi.”

For Shrivastav, the trip was a way to teach and learn more about something very important for him when it comes to food: supply chain transparency. 

“One of the most important things about this trip is I'm taking students to learn. We can learn together about what we are doing in this remote place, why this place particularly, because we use their teas everywhere and I've been wanting to go and see where the teas come from,” he said. “The students being there and planting tea themselves was amazing.”

He called the trip a pilgrimage for food, saying it was one of the best international trips he’s ever been on - and said from the hotels to the farm, all the food the group ate was amazing. 

Cierniak and Shrivastav are planning another trip to Bangladesh next year, where they plan on connecting more students with the tea garden - and with the people and culture there.

ISU officials hosted a listening session in response to racist video. Students stayed silent.

A listening session hosted by Indiana State University officials in response to recent racist incidents didn't go as planned, with many participating in a silent protest.

According to the Indiana Statesman , Indiana State University's campus newspaper, the listening session, led by the president's office and others, took place in a hall auditorium from 4-5 p.m. on Tuesday, April 18. The session followed an initial protest on April 8 after a student, identified by some on social media as a member of the nursing program, posted a video containing racist comments against the Black community on Yik Yak sometime in March.

Before it started, protestors stood outside, passing out red duct tape and flyers, with intentions to “symbolize the lack of acknowledgment and action from university leadership regarding issues of racism and discrimination," the Indiana Statesman reported. Representatives from Indiana State University were unavailable for comment.

Indiana State University: An ISU nursing student was shown in a racist video. Here's what happened next.

Here's what we know:

Indiana State University student posts racist video

According to the Indiana Statesman, response from students follow a student video posted to Yik Yak, a social networking app, containing discriminatory remarks against the Black community.

One woman, about to get her doctorate,  commented on the issue on TikTok.  "Black women have been screaming about how they get treated in the health care field for generations. The fact that she's so openly and blatantly racist while also learning to practice medicine is so scary."

Indiana State University students protest in response to racist incidents on campus

An initial protest was held from 1-5 p.m. on April 8 at the former Lincoln Quad with four main demands. These included repercussions for the student’s behavior; a statement denouncing the video; a zero-tolerance policy regarding hate speech on campus; and amendments to the university’s code of conduct to oppose hate speech and implement repercussions for future incidents.

Nadia Lomax, one of the students involved in the protest, said the goal was to make sure silence isn't an option when faced with hate speech. “We’re here to make sure something like this doesn’t get swept under the rug again. The damage that occurs because of that (the lack of university response) is that students are told silence is OK and that they don’t matter,” Lomax said to the Statesman.

The university issued a response on April 10 and held a listening session for students on Tuesday. The Statesman reported that students sat silently through a presentation and were encouraged to join breakout rooms afterward. The protest continued, and provost Chris Olsen, and other faculty, expressed concern for recent events and encouraged students to speak up.

At exactly 5 p.m., when the session ended, the protest did as well. According to the Statesman, Andrea Arrington from the Department of History, addressed the students, saying, “We learned from you today in your silent protest… If there are things you want to teach us, please teach us."

How did Indiana State University respond to video, student protests?

Indiana State University President Deborah Curtis  issued a statement on April 10 after the April 8 student protest. "The student's comments in the video in no way represent the ideals and goals of Indiana State University. We are appalled by the sentiments expressed in the video and condemn those comments in the strongest terms."

"This video impacts the entire campus community, but it deeply affects students from marginalized groups. Make no mistake — we hear you. We see you. We support you. We have been and will continue to work for you."

The office of the president and other faculty offices, also hosted a listening session earlier this week to allow students to voice their opinions and concerns. Instead, students silently protested at the event.

Columbia University president grilled about campus antisemitism at congressional hearing

Columbia University’s president strongly denounced antisemitism during a congressional hearing Wednesday, saying that after Hamas' Oct. 7 attack, “the world changed, and so did my focus.”

“Antisemitism has no place on our campus, and I am personally committed to doing everything I can to confront it directly,” President Nemat “Minouche” Shafik told the Republican-led House Committee on Education and the Workforce. “Israel was brutally attacked by Hamas terrorists and very soon it became clear that these horrific events would ignite fear and anguish across our campus.”

Shafik faced questions about her handling of antisemitism on campus after the Oct. 7 attack alongside two members of Columbia's Board of Trustees and the head of the university's antisemitism task force. She faced particular scrutiny for how the university handled faculty members who made comments about Hamas that were perceived as antisemitic.

Rep. Tim Walberg, R-Mich., grilled Shafik about Joseph Massad, a tenured professor in Columbia’s Middle Eastern, South Asian, and African Studies department who published comments in October calling Hamas' attack a “ stunning victory .”

“I do condemn his statement. I am appalled by what he said,” Shafik responded. “He has been spoken to.”

The hearing became particularly heated when Rep. Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y., pressed Shafik about why Massad is still listed on Columbia’s website as the chair of the academic review committee.

Stefanik asked Shafik for her commitment that Massad would be removed as chair, and Shafik said she would get back to her.

Stefanik also questioned Shafik about Mohamed Abdou, a visiting professor at the Middle East Institute at Columbia. She referred to an Oct. 11 post on Facebook in which Abdou wrote, “Yes, I’m with the muqawamah (the resistance) be it Hamas and Hezbollah and Islamic Jihad but up to a point.”

When asked about consequences, Shafik said Abdou “will never work at Columbia again.”

Her appearance in Congress came after she declined to testify at a hearing in December, citing scheduling conflicts.

That hearing included testimonies from the presidents of the University of Pennsylvania, Harvard and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, who all drew intense scrutiny for their responses to questions regarding antisemitism and hate speech on campus. Penn and Harvard 's presidents have since resigned.

When Shafik and her colleagues were asked by Rep. Suzanne Bonamici, D-Ore., whether calling for the genocide of Jewish people violates Columbia’s rules — the same question posed to Harvard, MIT and Penn’s presidents — all answered “yes.” Bonamici also asked Shafik about the chants “by any means necessary” and “intifada,” which Shafik said were distressing.

Noa Fay, a Jewish student at Columbia who attended the hearing, told NBC News that she was "underwhelmed" by Shafik's testimony. Fay added that last semester it was “nearly impossible for me to get through academically and mentally” because of antisemitism she said she experienced on campus.

“I’m an RA, and last semester, all my bulletin boards that I post up in our halls were vandalized, written with ‘stop supporting genocide, cease-fire, free Palestine, from the river to the sea,’ all of these things,” Fay said. “It has consumed every aspect of our student life.”

Ahead of her hearing, Shafik published an op-ed in The Wall Street Journal about what she planned to say in her testimony to Congress.

"Since the Oct. 7 Hamas attack, I have spent the most of my time addressing its aftershocks," Shafik wrote. "It is hard to describe how difficult this has been, especially on a large, diverse urban campus with students from all over the world and a long tradition of political activism."

Columbia is being sued by five Jewish students and two student organizations after it suspended the student groups Students for Justice in Palestine and Jewish Voice for Peace in November. In March, Shafik confirmed that a "number" of Columbia students were suspended after allegedly participating in an unauthorized panel called "Resistance 101" that featured speakers who supported Hamas.

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology says it is 'determining next steps'

From CNN's Jillian Sykes

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology issued a statement Monday regarding tents on its campus.

"MIT officials are aware of the tents, and are determining next steps with a focus on ensuring campus is physically safe and fully functioning. MIT Police were on scene throughout the night and will continue to be present."

Robert Kraft says he is willing to support The Kraft Center at the university

From CNN's Chandelis Duster

Robert Kraft, billionaire owner of the NFL’s New England Patriots and backer of Columbia University, on Monday said he is still willing to support The Kraft Center at the school that supports Jewish students, calling it “a haven of safety.”

Kraft, an alumnus of the university, told CNN’s Jake Tapper on “The Lead” that he loves the school and “we have to have accountability.”

“There are both professors and students within the university who say things that I think cross the line and there should be accountability. I believe in free speech. Say whatever you want but pay the consequences. And don't have your face covered. I don't think that should be allowed,” he said.  

“I can’t believe in New York City at Columbia University Jewish students are afraid to go to classes in the United States of America in 2024. It’s amazing to me and horrible,” Kraft also said.

Asked where he drew the line at Columbia University regarding both pro-Palestine and pro-Israel protests and what he finds objectionable, he said “there is a lack of education on the situation” happening in the Middle East. 

“I’m concerned about America and what’s going on in this country. And to keep it open and free for all people of all backgrounds to do as they wish,” he said.

Asked if he has confidence in Columbia University’s president, Minouche Shafik, he said he thinks she is “very well intentioned” and said “we have to look at what goes on with faculty.”

Columbia faculty stage walk-out in solidarity with students

From CNN's John Towfighi

Hundreds of people gathered on Low Plaza Monday afternoon as Columbia University faculty delivered speeches in support of the student protesters who were suspended and arrested Thursday.

Faculty who spoke denounced university president Minouche Shafik’s decision to authorize the New York Police Department to remove protesters from campus and demanded all legal and disciplinary charges be dismissed and expunged from students' records.

Faculty held signs that read, “Hands off our students,” and “End student suspensions now.” Some faculty donned their academic regalia and wore sashes that read, “We support students.”

Speeches were met with cheers and claps from the crowd, as well as chants for Shafik to resign.

Christopher Brown, a professor of history, said, “I’m here because I am so concerned about what is happening at this university, with where we are now and with where we are going. Thursday April 18, 2024, will be remembered as a shameful day in Columbia history.”

“The president’s decision to send riot police to pick up peaceful protesters on our campus was unprecedented, unjustified, disproportionate, divisive and dangerous,” Brown said.

US Rep. Ilhan Omar, whose daughter Isra Hirsi was among the protesters arrested Thursday , posted on X that while she’s glad to see faculty demonstrate in solidarity with students, she wants the protests to focus on Gaza.

"On Thursday, Columbia arrested and suspended its students who were peacefully protesting and have now ignited a nationwide Gaza Solidarity movement. This is more than the students hoped for and I am glad to see this type of solidarity. But to be clear, this about the genocide in Gaza and the attention has to remain on that," Omar wrote.

NYC Mayor condemns "vile" and "disgusting" rhetoric at college campuses

From CNN's Alicia Wallace

New York City Mayor Eric Adams on Monday condemned “vile” and “disgusting” rhetoric being used at campuses such as Columbia University, where students are holding protests over the Israel-Hamas War.

Adams told CNN’s Jake Tapper that he supports First Amendment rights but said law enforcement officials are on the ready if any of that speech goes too far or if there’s an imminent threat to people or property.

"That is one of the fundamental rights we hold dear as Americans: The right to protest," Adams said on CNN's "The Lead." "What we have seen playing out on many of our college campuses, and particularly Columbia University, is hate. We’re seeing vile language being used."

Adams noted that he can feel the "duality of this moment" and how the events of the past six months are weighing heavily on Jewish and Palestinian New Yorkers. He added that the police escorts of Jewish students through campus were reminiscent of the Army soldiers who escorted nine Black students into a high school in Little Rock, Arkansas, nearly 67 years ago.

"There is no place for hate in this city," he said.

New York Police Department officers have a “large presence” surrounding Columbia but have remained off the campus grounds at the request of the school’s administration, NYPD deputy commissioners said earlier on Monday.

Adams told Tapper that the NYPD’s commissioner of legal matter is monitoring the protests for any speech that violates law. Additionally, police officers will take "appropriate action" and go on private property if there’s an "imminent threat."

Protesters gather at The New School in New York City

From CNN's Elisabeth Buchwald

Protesters have gathered at The New School, located near the Chelsea area of the New York City borough of Manhattan.

An encampment of four tents was set up in the lobby of the building that houses auditoriums, a cafeteria and a library. Roughly 75 students, and other people who have The New School IDs, gathered inside the building.

"Disclose, divest, we will not stop, we will not stop, we will not rest," was repeatedly chanted. 

Outside the building, protesters from the school, as well as outsiders, joined in chants from the sidewalk.

There is a stark difference between the inside and outside of Columbia University's campus

From CNN's Ramishah Maruf

There’s a stark difference between the inside of Columbia University's campus and the outside, where there are protesters gathered on the street. 

The encampment is only open to those affiliated with campus. Only those with a Columbia ID can enter the campus gates. Inside the encampment, programs include teach-ins, poetry readings and film screenings. Some students are quietly finishing assignments, while others are painting posters.

Elsewhere around campus, students are eating and completing assignments. Many students take graduation pictures at this time, and some are in graduation gowns walking down Broadway. Risers are set up for an upcoming commencement ceremony.

Other students are holding large American flags underneath Butler Library.

But the students can still hear the tension that is taking place yards away at the university gates. There is a gathering of pro-Palestinian protesters, who in the early afternoon were chanting “I believe that we will win” and “Long Live the Intifada.” There was a smaller group of pro-Israeli protesters, who chanted back “Down with Hamas” and “Victory to Israel.” A line of New York Police officers were monitoring the street.

What it's like inside the Columbia University encampment

The inside of the encampment is quiet – most of the noise comes from protestors outside the gates of Columbia University's campus, who are chanting “I believe that we will win” and “Long live the Intifada."

It was a sunny day on campus, and in one corner, students were painting posters. One person strummed a stringed instrument, and other students are reading books or on their laptops finishing assignments. Others have donated provisions, ranging from a table of snacks to hygiene products. There was also a pile of blankets.

“We’ve just been trying to keep students mobilized and keep pushing for divestment,” Dalia, a first-year student at Columbia College, told CNN. “We are a very mobilized student body and a very unified student body. Hundreds of people have been in and out of the encampment.”

CNN agreed not to publish her surname due to safety concerns.

She said the students at the campus “refuse to be complicit in the genocide, the apartheid, and the occupation of Palestine.”

There are strict community guidelines for the encampment. One rule says not to share names or details of anyone met in camp, and asking for permission before photographing or taking video.

The encampment is filled with dozens and dozens of tents, from students to neighboring Barnard College staff. Today’s encampment program included an Earth Day performance, poetry reading and a Dabka lesson, a traditional dance from the Arab region. Prior program events included dance performances from different cultures.

Democratic House members tour Columbia campus

Democratic Reps. Jared Moskowitz of Florida, Josh Gottheimer of New Jersey, Dan Goldman of New York and Kathy Manning of North Carolina, who are all Jewish, spoke at a news conference Monday after touring Columbia University’s campus. 

"We saw it firsthand as we walked past the encampments on the university's main lawn full of protesters spewing incendiary antisemitic hate and vitriol. Many aren't even Columbia students I've been told. Their campaign of intimidation is sickening and shocking and as the White House said yesterday, ‘echoes the rhetoric of Hamas terrorists,'" Gottheimer said. 

He also criticized Columbia University leadership, saying, “toothless combinations from administrators aren't going to stop the anarchy we’re seeing.”

“The only way to do it is with deeds, not words,” Gottheimer said. “Colleges have a legal obligation under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act to provide students, including Jews and Muslims, a school environment free from discrimination and harassment based on race color or national origin. Yet just feet from here, Jewish students are being verbally and even physically assaulted.”

Gottheimer continued, “To the administrators of Columbia and beyond, here are our demands: Stop the double talk and start acting now. Discipline harassers, restore civility on this campus, encourage peaceful constructive dialogue.”

He also gave a message for students: “While the leadership of Columbia may be failing you, we will not. We will do everything in our power to keep you safe and do everything in Washington we can to make sure that you feel welcome at this university or any university across the United States of America. And Columbia University, if they don't follow through, will pay the price.”

Goldman said he was "encouraged" the Columbia University president issued guidelines about additional security, calling it a "very important first step" and criticized what is happening on campus.

"That is unacceptable for a university, that is unacceptable for an academic institution. There is no question that everyone has a First Amendment right to speak out in this country and that must be preserved," Goldman said. "But a university and all universities have an obligation to maintain the safety and security of their students from all backgrounds."

Manning said university leadership should "do more to keep Jewish students safe and to re-establish an atmosphere in which all students can learn, study and participate safely in campus life."

"Columbia must also move forward with its promised efforts to teach its students and its faculty about the nature and history and dangers of antisemitism. It must ensure that Columbia professors are not encouraging and spreading antisemitism," Manning said.

"I call on the US Department of Education and the US Department of Justice to work with the White House to ensure that all universities take steps necessary to keep Jewish students and faculty safe. I also call on Congress to enact legislation to implement the steps outlined in the US national strategy to counter antisemitism, to address the scourge of antisemitism which is a threat to the foundations of our democracy," she said.

President Joe Biden condemns antisemitism on campus

From CNN's Kevin Liptak

President Joe Biden decried antisemitic protests around college campuses Monday and said his administration was working to combat anti-Jewish hatred.

"I condemn the antisemitic protests, that’s why I’ve set up a program to deal with that," Biden said when questioned about the events at Columbia University in New York.

"I also condemn those who don’t understand what’s going on with the Palestinians," he said, without expanding upon what he meant.

Biden was speaking after an Earth Day event in Prince William Forest Park in Triangle, Virginia.

When asked whether Columbia's president should resign, Biden appeared to mishear: "I didn’t know that. I'll have to find out more," he said.
