Northwestern University in Qatar (Doha, Qatar)

In early February 2020, “NU-Q announced the cancellation of an event on ‘media revolutions in the Middle East’ featuring Lebanese indie rock band Mashrou’ Leila, whose lead singer is openly gay. Northwestern’s Director of Media Relations Jon Yates cited an ‘abundance of caution due to several factors, including safety concerns for the band and [the] community.” According to Reuters, ‘[c]ritics used an Arabic hashtag on Twitter to demand the event be canceled, with some accusing Mashrou’ Leila and Northwestern of spreading views that are against Qatari and Islamic values’.”
