Northwestern University Removes Sukkah, Citing Policy Violations

Jewish student group condemns the action as antisemitic, while university cites lack of registration and policy compliance.

Jewish students at Northwestern University erected a sukkah to celebrate the Jewish holiday of Sukkot, which was later removed by the university for policy violations.
The student group, Jewish Voice for Peace Northwestern, was denied permission to set up the sukkah due to not being a registered group and failing to comply with the university's display policy.
The students dedicated the sukkah to Palestinian solidarity, displaying signs like 'Gaza Solidarity Sukkah' and 'Stop Arming Israel,' which they say prompted the university's response.
Jewish Voice for Peace claims the removal of the sukkah reflects broader issues of repression against anti-Zionist Jewish students on campus.
Similar incidents of sukkah removals have occurred at other universities, with varying administrative responses to the student demonstrations advocating for Palestinian rights.
