Rex Weiner has written the below-linked piece in Campus Watch, which discusses the Jewish situation on two University of California campuses, UC San Diego and UC Santa Cruz (America's Wackiest University). It features the efforts of my friend and colleague, UCSC teacher Tammi Rossman-Benjamin, to bring public awareness to the issue. It also mentions that notorious UCSC Community Studies Department-now defunded.

Kenneth Stern is correct. Tammi's voice has hardly been "stifled" when she freely publishes her views in a variety of venues. Jewish students are free to take offense and express outrage. But, as an orthodox rabbi I often communicate with observes, if I am offended, my recourse is to offend you right back, not to suppress your offensive speech.
Incidentally, Muslims, as Muslims, have no claim to be a coherent body of common ethnic descent. Arabs perhaps, Albanians, perhaps, Pushtuns, perhaps, Iranians, perhaps, but not Muslims as Muslims.
