Doubtlessly, Loyola’s chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine will say that their freedom of speech and assembly has been denied. Problem is, they were trying to prevent Hillel members from promoting Birthright Israel, a direct violation of Hillel students’ freedom of speech and assembly.

From The CollegeFix:

SJP CHAPTER SUSPENDED AFTER HARASSING JEWISH PEERS, PROTESTING ISRAEL DISPLAY

The Students for Justice in Palestine chapter at Loyola University-Chicago can’t catch a break.

Following its attempt to block a Jewish event on campus, the chapter has been temporarily suspended from “hosting any on-campus activities or events,” according to an e-mailed statement from university spokesperson Steve Christensen.

That suspension will continue “until their leadership meets with University representatives and the group complies with stated policies and procedures that apply to all student organizations,” Christensen said.

The College Fix reported earlier this month that chapter members accosted and tried to block Hillel members from promoting Birthright Israel, a program that sends Jewish students to Israel to learn about their cultural heritage, in the student center.

“University reps and the organization’s leadership will discuss procedural-type topics, including registration of events and demonstrations, and room reservations,” Christensen said, declining to go into specifics.
