George Washington (GW) University has temporarily suspended a pro-Palestine group over its anti-Israel messaging on campus.

The suspension comes after the group Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) last month projected anti-Israel messages on a campus library amid the current conflict between Israel and the Palestinian militant group Hamas. In a Tuesday statement emailed to The Hill, the university said they “determined that SJP’s actions violated university policies.”

“As a result, effective immediately, the university has prohibited SJP from participating in activities on campus,” the statement continued.

“SJP cannot sponsor or organize on-campus activities on university property or use university facilities, including indoor and outdoor spaces available for reservation through the university; this prohibition is in effect for the next 90 days,” the statement said. “Also effective immediately, SJP is prohibited from posting communications on university property through May 20, 2024.”
