UCLA suspends student justice in Palestine after vandalism by UC Regent

UCLA administrators said Wednesday they protested outside of Brentwood at Jay Jay Sures last week, Outside protests, suspending justice for two students in Palestinian groups indefinitely among Palestinian groups, and protesting at home in Brentwood last week, violating his property and surrounding her wife Holding her property, the car.

Prime Minister Julio Frenk said in campus-wide news that the decision of the UCLA Office of Student Conduct was a temporary suspension, while internal judicial process against these groups (Palestine Justice Students and Palestine Justice Students) conducted.

The organizations supported the Pro-Palestinian camp last year and will no longer be able to reserve space for conferences on campus, apply for student club funding or associations with UCLA.

There is no end date for behavioral procedures and suspensions.

“Without a basic sense of security, humans cannot learn, teach, work and live – prosperity and prosperity are much less prosperous,” Frank said in the letter. “No matter which group you are or what identities you have, this It's all true. There's no violence in our Bruin community.”

UCLA has joined several other UCS and other campuses that ban or suspend SJP.

At UC Santa Cruz, the organization was suspended until September 2026. At the University of California, Irvine, it will be suspended until November 2029. At the University of California, San Diego, SJP was charged with an activity that was “incompatible with orderly actions on campus” last spring and did it. Not renewing its campus group status in the fall.

The UCLA suspension was adopted by the University of California (UC) to adopt a “zero tolerance” policy to violate the code of conduct and violate the controversial protests on campus in spring 2024 – violence against UCLA Pro-Palestinian Aspampment. The policy prohibits covering up the law, including vandalism.

The UCLA rule adds that if university leaders believe that students take violent actions or endorse violence, they can hold students accountable for off-campus actions. Although LAPD is investigating potential crimes during the incident at Suses’ home, UCLA has not filed campus charges against individual students involved in the conduct.

In his letter, Frenk quoted an Instagram post from the UCLA SJP group, which protested outside the Regent's home early on February 5. Dozens of protesters—whose faces were covered by scarves and masks—appeared drums, flyers and signs demanding the evacuation of the UC system from Israel.

Frenke said the activists “harassed” the investigation and used “threatening information” and made a banner reading: “Jonathan Sures, you will pay until you see the last day.” Frenke said Ke also said protesters “disrupted these investigations by painting red handprints on the exterior walls of the house and hanging banners on the hedges of the house.”

Sures, a UCLA alumni and vice chairman of the United Talent Agency, is one of 18 UC Regents. He is an outspoken Israeli supporter, saying the anti-Semitic actions of pro-Palestine campus protesters were a clash with executives and police last year.

In an Instagram post on February 5, the SJP chapter group's account stated that “SURES is “one of the unelected officials responsible for protecting genocide and weapons manufacturing UC investment.” The post includes shaping images in suits, in pro Fire burned under the Palestine flag, his hand was edited as bloody.

The groups said in another article: “The Regent repeatedly drove us out of their meetings, canceled the forum for public comment, and criminalized our attempts to protest investment policies. We brought the problem directly to the Regent. , because they have systematically militaryized our campuses.”

In an interview, Suses said he believed the student chose his home because he was Jewish.

“It's not about me. I'm the target, but it's about protecting every member of our community from intimidation and hatred.” “You think you're going to intimidate me in some way and the University of California will strip it is foolish and Illusion. This will never happen.”

UC leaders said last year that they would not evacuate Israel in response to the camp. About 18% of the university system's $175 billion assets are linked to weapons companies, investment funds with Israeli relations, such as Pro-Palestinian activists or Disney targeted by U.S. bonds.

Graeme Blair, a member of the UCLA's Palestinian Justice School, said the suspension was part of a model of “violence against Arab, Muslim, Palestinian and pro-Palestinian students.”

“Just like April, administrators have selected the deployment of allegations of violence, not against those who have caused physical harm in the action, but against those who don't like it,” said Blair, associate professor of political science. “Sir Fren,” said. Frenk and the UC Regents continue to collude in genocide is violence. …To call banners on the bushes, violence is a mean distortion.”

The UCLA SJP team posted a brief statement on Instagram on Wednesday. “Damn it, it's crazy,” an article on the graduate group's account said in a letter from Frenke.

“Hello everyone, @ucla is just 'temporary pause' for our chapter,” the UCLA SJP account said. “Please keep following and open our stories and notifications to stay up to date.” The emoji of the Palestinian flag ended the post.

Kira Stein, chairman of the UCLA Jewish Teacher Resilience Group, after her group filed a complaint about SJP for more than a year, “it's time.”

Stein Assistant Professor of Psychiatry said the SJP organization has been using intimidation, harassment and inflammatory disinformation to mask blatant anti-Semitism political dissent to split and destabilize our campuses. …We have a series of SJP violations of university rules and regulations shared with the government. ”

In an interview, the University of California Regent (Rech Rich Leib) also expressed support for the pro-Israeli campus community, saying he was “very supportive” of the suspension.

“I firmly believe in peaceful protests, but doing things in private residences and intimidation of people is not peaceful protests. What they do for the houses of the Regent and what they do to their families is far beyond peaceful protests.” Leib explain.

The union representing the UC Police Department praised the suspension and called on the UCLA to “request for prosecution” if protesters violate the law.

“Universities cannot allow illegal acts under the guise of activism. Only through comprehensive responsibility can these students learn to limit their actions to those permitted by law and university policies.

On October 7, 2023, the pro-Palestinian movement developed rapidly on American campuses following Hamas’s war attacks on Israel and subsequently in Gaza. Last spring, protesters set up camps and demanded a divestment. UCLA's action is the biggest in the United States.

In internal and external comments, UCLA was sentenced to relate to responses from Los Angeles police and other law enforcement agencies for failing to attack Los Angeles police and other law enforcement agencies on April 30 and May 1.

The university has set up a new campus safety office and said last month that it hired the former LAPD CMDR. Steve Lurie leads it. Lurie previously oversaw the department’s Western Bureau, which includes UCLA.

The Westwood campus has increased restrictions on protests since the fall, which has allowed most public areas to conduct unlimited demonstrations – and has increased the presence of campus security personnel.

UCLA has also been involved in many lawsuits, investigations and conflicts over pro-Palestinian protests.

In October, a group of pro-Palestine UCLA students and faculty filed a lawsuit in state court alleging that the university violated their right to freedom of speech when it cleared the spring camp and mistakenly protested. Earlier, a federal judge ordered the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) to ensure equal contact with Jewish students in another case, three of which claimed the university allowed camp protesters to block Jews from parts of the campus.

Also in October, the UCLA task force against anti-Semitism and anti-Israel bias issued a 93-page report that “based on broad-based anti-Semitism and anti-Israel bias on campus since 2023. view of the '. Since 2023. Anti-Muslim and anti-Arab racism have also published three reports since April detailing a campus that is “less safer than ever” and criticizing “increased harassment, violence and targeting.”
