Barnard College has mandated that students remove any and all decorations featuring messages from their dorm rooms as a way to avoid “isolating those who have different views and beliefs” — just days after it was hit with a lawsuit accusing it of allowing antisemitism to run rampant.

Students at the New York City campus have until Wednesday to remove dry-erase boards, decorations, or messaging affixed to their doors, according to a letter sent out on Friday by Barnard College Dean Leslie Grinage, the Columbia Spectator school newspaper reports.

“The goal is to be as clear as possible about the guardrails, and, meeting the current moment, do what we can to support and foster the respect, empathy and kindness that must guide all of our behavior on campus,” Grinage wrote.

The school did not state what repercussions students could face if they don’t adhere to the new policy. Bernard had previously cracked down on two students who hung a Pro-Palestinian banner outside the quad in December, with a disciplinary proceeding underway.
