University President Sunil Kumar said on Tuesday evening in an e -mail at the faculty that the school tried to confirm whether that information is true. “
Last March, Ozturk was one of the four students who authorized an OP-Ed in the Tufts piece in the Tufts every day.
The piece criticized the university's reaction to the senate of the community of the community that resolutions spent and demanded that Tufts 'recognize the Palestinian genocide'.

The detention of Ozturk comes after President Trump had signed an order on January 29 that a performance against anti -Semitism, including university campuses.
Mahmoud Khalil, the main negotiator of students for the pro-Palestinian camp, was arrested by agents from the Ministry of Interior Security
Badar Khan Suri, an Indian national and postdoctoral student at the University of Georgetown, was detained outside his house in Rosslyn, Virginia
Khalil, 30, was the main negotiator and spokesperson at Columbia University for those who were at the school against the Israel campaign in Gaza.
The government tries to deport him under a status that makes it possible to remove non -citizens who 'potentially seriously serious adverse consequences for foreign policy'.
The Ministry of Home Security claimed that he had “led activities that were tailored to Hamas” and that the action was taken “in coordination with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.”
The president accused Khalil of being 'pro-haamas' and State Secretary Marco Rubio stated that the US would withdraw visa and green cards from 'Hamas supporters'.
He is not accused of a crime. He is also married to an American citizen who is eight months pregnant.
Just like Khalil and Ozturk, the Indian National Badar Khan Suri, a postgraduate student at Georgetown Univeristy, was taken in custody by ice officers in his house in Virginia.
The Ministry of Interior Security claims that Suri was involved in 'Active distribution of Hamas -Propaganda' and 'Promotion of anti -Semitism'.
His lawyer has submitted a petition to the federal court in which he was called for his release, with which he has become acquainted with the detention of Khalil.
Yunseo Chung, seen here, said that ice is moving to have deported her from the country after she was arrested on March 5
His lawyer claimed that Suri is the target because his wife is a Palestinian, and notes that they are 'long doxxed and smeared' for their support for Palestinian rights.
A student from Columbia University has since sued the Trump government and on the flight of ICE agents after participating in pro-Palestinian protests.
Yunseo Chung, 21, said that ice is moving to have deported her after she was arrested on March 5 after a protest at Barnard College.
Chung, who is also a legal permanent resident, has lived in the US since he emigrates from South Korea at the age of 7.
Days after her arrest, Chung says in her suit that ice officers signed an arrest warrant and went to her parents' home looking for her.
On March 10, Chung said, a federal law enforcement officer told her lawyer that her legal permanent resident status was 'withdrawn'.
She is looking for a judicial order to block the efforts of the Trump government to deport it and asked a judge to prevent her detention.
According to the suit, those in the government try to use immigration enforcement as a bludgeon to suppress speech they don't like. ”
