ITHACA, NY (CortacaToday) — Cornell has reversed the suspension of a grad student.

Momodou Taal says the Ivy League school will allow him to continue his thesis work and complete his studies. It allows the UK native to stay in the US. Last month, Cornell suspended Taal over his participation in a pro-Palestinian demonstration. He faced possible deportation.

Taal says some restrictions remain but says on social media “it’s a reminder you can fight back against these institutions.”
