Columbia University announced it has suspended the school's Students for Justice in Palestine and Jewish Voice for Peace chapters.
Gerald Rosberg, senior vice president of Columbia University, said the student groups violated campus policy on Thursday afternoon when they held an unauthorized event that included threats.
"Columbia University is suspending Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) and Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP) as official student groups through the end of the fall term. This decision was made after the two groups repeatedly violated University policies related to holding campus events, culminating in an unauthorized event Thursday afternoon that proceeded despite warnings and included threatening rhetoric and intimidation," Rosberg said.
SJP and JVP will not be able to hold events on campus or receive university funding through the fall semester.
Rosberg said their suspensions will be lifted when they demonstrate a commitment to following university policies and engage in "consultations at a group leadership level with University officials."
"Like all student groups, SJP and JVP are required to abide by University policies and procedures. This ensures both the safety of our community and that core University activities can be conducted without disruption. During this especially charged time on our campus, we are strongly committed to giving space to student groups to participate in debate, advocacy, and protest. This relies on community members abiding by the rules and cooperating with University administrators who have a duty to ensure the safety of everyone in our community," Rosberg said.

Columbia University is already an overpriced purveyor of wokeness located in a ‘Rat Urban Utopia.

Leftists/terror supporters violating school rules the law. No, I'm not so naive as to expect any consequences.
Yeah. Look at their beginnings. Founded under a charter of George II. After the revolution renamed and initially run by Alexander Hamilton and John Jay. Wonder how they’d handle this.
Thanks for the short History lesson.
Civilizational devolvement in the USA continues....

That’s what university presidents said about canceling Ann Coulter and Ben Shapiro speeches on campus. “Mob veto” over speech as Coulter correctly said.
Amazing the other side is losing something.
I’m too old to be a pessimist. Our civilization, whether American or Western, can easily survive. Or not. Time will tell.
There will be no devolution at my compound during my remaining days.
Oh, wow. Several weeks—that's so harsh! Whaaaaa!
>>included threatening rhetoric and intimidation,”
So they acted like the Left has acted towards Right wing campus speakers for the last 20 years.
