| 2010-09-10 |
| SAN FRANCISCO (JTA) -- A Muslim student group at the University of California, Irvine, had a yearlong suspension shortened to four months. The Muslim Student Union (MSU) on the Irvine campus will be barred from operating this fall semester, the Jewish Journal of Greater Los Angeles reported. The university had recommended a yearlong suspension in May in response to the groupÂ’s orchestrated heckling of Israeli U.S. Ambassador Michael Oren during his address to the university last February. Oren walked off the stage twice, unable to continue because of the disruption. According to the sanctions, imposed for violations of the universityÂ’s code of conduct, the student group may not use university facilities this fall, recruit new members or raise money. Members must complete 100 hours of community service, and the group will be on probation for two years beginning Jan. 3. Eleven students were arrested by campus police for the heckling of Oren. Eight were from UC Irvine, including the MSU president. All were released. |
