George Washington University Suspends Students for Justice in Palestine Over Anti-Semitic Projections on Building
“After an investigation, the university determined that SJP’s actions violated university policies”
Suspension really doesn’t go far enough, does it? Wouldn’t expulsion be more appropriate?

George Washington University suspends SJP chapter after group projected ‘Glory to our martyrs’ onto building
George Washington University suspended its Students for Justice in Palestine chapter after the group projected “Glory to Our Martyrs” on the side of a campus building.
The university’s SJP chapter projected a series of pro-Palestinian phrases onto the school’s Gelman Library on Oct. 24, including “GW the Blood of Palestine is on your Hands” and “Your Tuition is Funding Genocide in Gaza.”
In a statement at the time, George Washington University said the messages were “unauthorized” and violated university policy, adding “leadership intervened to ensure that these projections were removed.”
The university shared a statement with Fox News Digital, which effectively suspends SJP for three months.
“After an investigation, the university determined that SJP’s actions violated university policies, including the Gelman Building Use Guidelines and the university’s policy against non-compliance, as SJP initially refused to comply with university officials’ directives to end the projections,” reads the statement. “As a result, effective immediately, the university has prohibited SJP from participating in activities on campus.
“SJP cannot sponsor or organize on-campus activities on university property or use university facilities, including indoor and outdoor spaces available for reservation through the university; this prohibition is in effect for the next 90 days. Also effective immediately, SJP is prohibited from posting communications on university property through May 20, 2024,” the university added. “After 90 days, there will be continued restrictions around SJP’s use of university facilities and hosted activities through the end of the academic year.”

So, the individual who actually made the display got off Scott free, correct?
Imagine GW students marching under a KKK banner.
Try to imagine those students’ Club being suspended, and the students themselves continuing on as welcome members of the GWU.
If its not your building, or wall, or property, you can’t assume that you can use it that way. Just because you are student there doesn’t give you some kind of implied right. You are only passing through the school, for as long as the school allows you to be there. You don’t have any ownership rights to the facilities while you are student there.
Student protestors can respond they only used “projections” and there was not physical damage to facilities. But those projections can be photographed and published on the internet, and remain in circulation for years and years, potentially damaging the public image of the college.
They should be banned from campus, and only allowed them to take internet courses. If they step foot on campus, trespass them and expel them. But college nowadays are run by softies, so they will use this as “learning experience” and give them slap on hand.
Not only should SJP be banned, but those involved with it should be expelled. Terrorists should not be welcome in the West.
