The University of Texas at Austin has placed the Palestine Solidarity Committee on 'interim suspension,' citing the 'alleged violation of institutional rules,' according to a university spokesman. The group is on interim suspension, not the individuals, and the length of suspension will be determined by the Dean of Students office.
The Palestine Solidarity Committee organized an event on Wednesday that was met with a large police presence. In response to the suspension, the group posted a statement on Instagram calling it 'an attack on free speech to distract from and enable Israel’s genocidal campaign against the Palestinian people.'
