(Free Beacon) Yale University stripped the school’s Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) chapter, Yalies4Palestine, of its status as a recognized student group on Wednesday after it established a short-lived encampment. The decision may give insight into how Yale president Maurie McInnis, who called the police to arrest student protesters in her last job, will combat anti-Israel agitators at the Ivy League university.
In a Wednesday afternoon statement, Yale revealed that university staff had warned Yalies4Palestine the day before the encampment that “further violations would jeopardize the group’s privileges” during a meeting about prior infractions. The encampment, the statement said, violated Yale’s “time, place, and manner policies.” It also pointed to “disturbing antisemitic conduct at the gathering,” which may refer to video of anti-Israel agitators blocking Jewish students from accessing campus space.
