Rutgers University Suspends Students for Justice in Palestine Chapter

The suspension, which can be appealed, follows allegations of disruptions and vandalism, marking the first public university to take such action.

  • Rutgers University has suspended its chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP), a pro-Palestinian group, due to multiple complaints alleging disruption of classes, meals, and students studying.
  • The suspension follows similar actions taken by other universities such as George Washington University, Columbia University, and Brandeis University.
  • The suspension can be appealed within two business days, but the university has not specified the duration of the suspension if upheld.
  • Allegations of vandalism at the business school were also cited in the suspension, with SJP previously stating they were 'occupying the business school'.
  • Rutgers University is the first public university to take such action against SJP.
