Campus officials at UCI have banned the Muslim Student Union for one year and placed the organization on disciplinary probation for an additional year, according to a statement released by the Jewish Federation Monday morning.
Federation officials say they obtained documents from the university through the Freedom of Information Act, which show that the Muslim Student Union has been suspended on campus effective Sept. 1.
In what many say is an unprecedented act, the suspension is the result of a months-long internal review by the university following the arrest of 11 union students during Israeli Ambassador Michael Oren’s speech on campus. Oren was repeatedly interrupted by the union members.
