Brandeis Lifts ‘No Contact Order’ on Student Journalist

Just hours after the Washington Free Beacon revealed that Brandeis University student journalist Daniel Mael had been slapped with a “no contact order” restricting his movement on campus, university officials lifted the punishment, according to emails obtained by the Free Beacon.

Mael, who was unsuccessfully prosecuted for “harassment” by university officials before being hit with the “no contact order” late last year, was informed Thursday afternoon by a university official that the order would expire on Friday.

The latest punishment against the Brandeis senior followed an article he had written drawing attention to tweets by another student leader who endorsed on Twitter the recent murder of two New York City police officers and declared that “amerikkka needs an intifada.”

The order had prevented Mael from being in the same physical location on campus as student Michael Piccione, who launched a campaign to convince the Brandeis administration to punish Mael for writing the article.

After the Free Beacon revealed the existence on the “no contact order”—prompting outrage at Brandeis from those who accuse it of stifling free speech on campus—Brandeis Dean of Students Jamele Adams contacted Mael.
