Irvine Muslim student union suspended
NEW YORK - The University of California at Irvine has suspended a Muslim student group whose members called Israeli Ambassador Michael Oren a “killer” during a speech on campus.
The Muslim Student Union was suspended for one year and placed on disciplinary probation for an additional year, following a campus judicial review of Oren’s February 8 speech, which spurred chaos and protests. During Oren’s address, MSU members interrupted nearly a dozen times, shouting, “Propagating murder is not an expression of free speech!” and “How many Palestinians did you kill?” Police arrested 11 students in the tumult that ensued.
