UCLA suspends Students for Justice in Palestine after vandalism at UC regent’s home

LA Times  

Students for Justice in Palestine protest outside of UC Regent Jay Sures’ Los Angeles home on Feb. 5. The UCLA suspensions come after UC adopted “zero-tolerance” polices for code of conduct violations following unrest during spring 2024 when colleges erupted in contentious protests — and violence targeted the UCLA pro-Palestinian encampment. The activists “harassed” Sures and used “threatening messages,” Frenk said, and held a banner reading, “Jonathan Sures, you will pay until you see your final day.” Frenk also said protesters “vandalized the Sures home by applying red-colored handprints to the outer walls of the home and hung banners on the property’s hedges.” Sures, a UCLA alumnus and vice chairman at United Talent Agency, is one of 18 UC regents. Graeme Blair, a member of UCLA’s Faculty for Justice in Palestine, said the suspensions were part of a pattern of “violence against Arab, Muslim, Palestinian, and pro-Palestine students.” “Just like in April, administrators today selectively deployed the charge of violence, not against those whose actions cause physical harm, but against those whose speech they dislike,” said Blair, an associate professor of political science. “Chancellor Frenk and the UC regents’ continuing complicity in genocide is violence.. To call hanging banners on shrubs violence is a despicable distortion.” The UCLA SJP groups posted brief statements on Instagram Wednesday.
