A Massachusetts-based private university has banned a student chapter of the National Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) on its campus amid the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict, becoming the first U.S.-based private university to do so.
A Brandeis University spokesperson confirmed to The Hill on Monday that the school had banned the student chapter of the national organization, saying the leading factor in their decision was the SJP’s support of militant group Hamas.
Brandeis was founded as a nonsectarian Jewish university in 1948.
