Hat tip College Professors United for Jews and Israel
The University of Wisconsin-Madison has suspended the campus chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) for one semester after investigating SJP's role in the protest in April on the occasion of a speech on campus by Linda Thomas-Greenfield, former US Ambassador to the UN. The speaker, who had vetoed 4 cease-fire resolutions in the UN in the wake of the October 23, 2023 Hamas attack on Israel, was invited to speak by the UW La Follette School of Public Affairs. The university determined that SJP had violated 5 campus regulations with its actions.
The campus newspaper, Badger Herald has the report with a link to the statement by the university announcing its findings.
While I applaud the suspension, it should have been made permanent. SJP is a nationwide organization that has shown time and time again that disruption is its preferred tactic. As long as SJP is reinstated, it will simply return to its disruptive tactics.
