UCLA has indefinitely banned the Students for Justice in Palestine organization and suspended a similar graduate group due to their involvement in a vandalism incident during a protest. This protest was held against the university's financial ties to Israel, where students vandalized the home of UC Regent Jay Sures. Although the bans prevent these groups from official university recognition and funding, they are still allowed to protest on campus. UCLA stated that it is committed to maintaining a safe and respectful environment for all students, distancing itself from the student groups.
"... We will continue to uphold our policies to ensure UCLA remains a safe and respectful learning environment for all members of our Bruin community."
"The decisions do not prevent them from protesting on campus. As a public institution, limited parts of UCLA's grounds are open to anybody to demonstrate at most times of day."
