Columbia University is suspending the far-left groups Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) and Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP) as official student groups through the end of the fall term, it announced on Friday, saying they had violated university policies.
The university said it made the decision after the 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.”
Gerald Rosberg, Senior Executive Vice President of the University, released a statement explaining the decision.
“Suspension means the two groups will not be eligible to hold events on campus or receive University funding.
