Suspension upheld

UC-Irvine Upholds, but Shortens, Suspension of Muslim Student Group (Chronicle of Higher Education)

The University of California at Irvine plans to uphold the suspension of a Muslim Student Group, the Los Angeles Times reported on Saturday. The Muslim Student Union had appealed a suspension handed down in June after several students disrupted a February lecture by Michael Oren, the Israeli ambassador. The university had originally recommended a yearlong ban, but the suspension was reduced to the fall academic quarter. The group must complete 100 hours of community service before it can apply for reinstatement. If that request is granted, the group will be on probation for two years.
