The University of Alabama’s decision to suspend two student magazines has sparked criticism and outrage on the campus.

Leftist Collective at UA, an organization who describes themselves on social media as “anti-capitalist, anti-racist and feminist,” organized a petition delivery in support of Alice, a magazine aimed at women, and Nineteen Fifty-Six, a magazine focused on Black lifestyle and culture, to Steven Hood, vice president of student life, and University of Alabama President Peter Mohler on Wednesday.

“The purpose of this is to let [Mohler] and just generally UA’s administration, know that this is not a popular move,” Omorose Emwanta, Leftist Collective at UA secretary, said in an interview Wednesday. “We do not think the basis for this suspension is sound and we want to reinstate it. I think they underestimated how valuable and popular these magazines are.”

On Monday, UA officials told members of Alice and Nineteen Fifty-Six that their publications would be suspended to remain compliant with a memo released over the summer by Attorney General Pam Bondi. The memo made non-binding recommendations on compliance with anti-diversity, equity and inclusion policies supported by the Trump administration.
