Brandeis University reportedly became the first private university to ban the pro-Palestinian student organization for its support of Hamas' call too eliminate Israel.
(JTA) — Brandeis University is revoking recognition of the campus chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine, saying the group “openly supports Hamas.”
“This decision was not made lightly, as Brandeis is dedicated to upholding free speech principles,” the university wrote in its letter, which the Jewish Telegraphic Agency obtained.
