UCLA administrators said last Wednesday that they would be suspending two Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) organizations after masked campus activists outside the home of UC Regent Jay Sures.
They vandalized his property and surrounded his wife in her car as well.
In a broad campus message, Chancellor Julio Frenk stated that the UCLA Office of Student Conduct implemented an interim suspension while internal judicial procedures over the groups Students for Justice in Palestine and Graduate Students for Justice in Palestine occurred. The conduct proceedings and suspensions are indefinite.
These groups will no longer be able to apply for student club funding, reserve space for campus meetings, or affiliate with UCLA.
“Without the basic feeling of safety, humans cannot learn, teach, work, and live — much less thrive and flourish. This is true no matter what group you are a member of — or which identities you hold. There is no place for violence in our Bruin community,” Frenk wrote in his letter.
The SJP groups disputed the suspensions in statements posted to Instagram on Thursday, stating that “[W]e reject Frenk’s accusations that student protesters have committed violence against the UCLA community. Regardless of the official status of our organizations, we will never stop fighting for full divestment [from Israel].”
Numerous other UC campuses and others nationwide have banned or suspended SJP.
The organization is suspended until September 2026 from UC Santa Cruz, while it is suspended through November 2029 at UC Irvine. UC San Diego did not renew the university group status this fall after SJP was charged last spring with activities “incompatible with the orderly operation of campus.”
UC adopted “zero-tolerance” policies for code of conduct violations following the unrest in spring 2024. One policy bans masking while breaking the law.
Frenk said that the activists “harassed” Sures and used “threatening messages,” holding a banner saying, “Jonathan Sures, you will pay until you see your final day.” They also “vandalized the Sures home by applying red-colored handprints to the outer walls of the home and hung banners on the property’s hedges.”
Sures is an “outspoken supporter of Israel,” according to the LA Times, and had called actions of pro-Palestinian campus protestors “antisemitic” when both encampments and conflicts with police and administrators increased last year.
Sures believes that the activists chose his home because he’s Jewish, saying that “[T]his is not about me. I’m the target, but this is about protecting every member of our community from intimidation and hate,” Sures said. “The conceit that somehow you will intimidate me and the University of California will divest is silly and illogical. That’s never going to happen.”
The Trump effect in action? Don’t think it’s a coincidence.
You don’t need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows.
If they are foreign students, deport them now.
And why the mere temporary suspension of the radical antisemitic groups at UCLA and UC Santa Cruz? Permanently ban them.
The UC System is too cowardly in its response.
I understand that the sjp organizations are now on “double secret probation”....yup, nip it in the bud....
sjp yeah. Everyone knows what that’s all about.
How about Justice for innocent men, women and children you murdered, raped, mutilated and burned in the State of Israel?
The only justice you scum deserve is utter destruction, loss of land and expulsion into the Wilderness of Zin. PLOers and Jihadists! Go wander in the Sinai desert for 40 years. Maybe after that point you MIGHT be able to join the human race.
More winning.
And i expect fear of the new DOE investigations of UCB and other schools are strong motivators.
I definitely agree with you.
They put red handprints on the house???? Unless they were smart enough to wear rubber gloves, they have finger prints. And I agree, if they are here on student VISA’S, by by you’re going back to where ever you came from and never allowed in the states again
Whatta laff
Mexican “ceeteezeen of de whirled” Julio Frenk and his buddy Sures - the head of the UC governing corporation of Lawrence Livermore Labs and Los Alamos! - get hoisted on the petard of anarchy that trash like them inflicted on the US. Sures was actually born in Canada, raised in LA and is the agent for every far Left news “personality” on teevee - e.g. Margaret Brennan.
Sorry for not feeling sorry. Frenk is a clown choice for UCLA Chancellor with his UNAM medical degree and UMich Public Health grad degrees - you can find that pedigree in every South LA medical office running Medical scams. He checks two big boxes - Mexican AND Jewish - a twofer rarely seen! Except for the Senora President de Mehico - and is nothing more then a symbol of the Mexicanization of Los Angeles. Guy like him would do nothing about a demonstration with Mexican buzzard flags on UCLA property, violent or not.
And Jay Sures reps the trash who just said the Holocaust was caused by “weaponized” free speech, slapped down by both Rubio and Vance. The only reason Islamic terror groupies are in the US is due to idiots like him. And he has clearances to run LANL and LLNL?!

The “Palestinian refugees” are neither Palestinian nor refugees.

“They vandalized his property and surrounded his wife in her car as well.“
That is a quick and easy way to end up on the receiving end of a mag dump most places. I guess in Cali you don’t have to worry about that too much.
Does anyone think this would have happened if President Trump wasn’t elected?
These fascists anti-Semite people have no cover now...
