Columbia University Suspends Two Student Groups for Policy Violations

New York, New York United States of America
Columbia University has temporarily suspended two student groups, National Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) and Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP), due to violations of university policies related to holding campus events.
The unauthorized event was part of a nationwide movement in response to Israel's war with Hamas.
This suspension follows a similar action against the Students for Justice in Palestine chapter at Brandeis University.

Columbia University has temporarily suspended two student groups, National Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) and Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP), due to violations of university policies related to holding campus events. The suspension, which will last for approximately a month, was triggered by an unauthorized event that included threatening rhetoric and intimidation.

The unauthorized event was part of a nationwide movement in response to Israel's war with Hamas. Both SJP and JVP demanded that Columbia label Israel's ground offensive in Gaza as genocide and boycott business partnerships with the Jewish state.

This suspension follows a similar action against the Students for Justice in Palestine chapter at Brandeis University. Brandeis University revoked recognition of its SJP chapter, claiming it supported Hamas. In addition, Florida's Republican governor Ron DeSantis has sought to ban two SJP chapters at public universities in the state.

The Columbia chapter of SJP had previously celebrated a Hamas terrorist attack that killed 1,400 people. The suspension means the groups will not be eligible to hold events on campus for the duration of the suspension.
