Overview
- UCLA suspended Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) and Graduate Students for Justice in Palestine (GSJP) after a protest at UC Regent Jay Sures' home allegedly involved harassment and vandalism.
- Protesters reportedly surrounded a family member's car, displayed threatening signs, and vandalized the property with red handprints and banners.
- Chancellor Julio Frenk emphasized the need for safety and stated that the suspensions will last while the Office of Student Conduct investigates potential violations of university policies.
- The Los Angeles Police Department is conducting a separate investigation into possible criminal charges related to the incident.
- The suspensions follow similar actions against SJP chapters at other University of California campuses and reflect broader tensions over pro-Palestinian activism in academic settings.
