Columbia University is suspending two anti-Israel groups — Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) and Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP) — as official student groups through the end of the fall semester, the school’s senior executive vice president Gerald Rosberg announces in a statement.
“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 says.
The two groups will not be eligible to hold events on campus or receive university funding, Rosberg explains.
“Lifting the suspension will be contingent on the two groups demonstrating a commitment to compliance with university policies and engaging in consultations at a group leadership level with university officials,” he says.
“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.”

A modicum of backbone, perhaps.
Too little too late the damage is already done..the indoctrination of these hamas useful idiots is complete
The end of the fall semester is only a month away. Not much of a suspension.
Columbia University is already an overpriced purveyor of wokeness located in a ‘Rat Urban Utopia.
It’s of no furthur [sic] use.
At universities it ALWAYS comes down to the money. They’re pissing off wealthy alumni that were donating.
Oh, that'll show them! barf
But only “through the end of the fall semester”.....so that’s doing nothing but a gentle slap on the hands.
