UC Irvine recommends suspension of campus’ Muslim student group
University officials recommend the suspension after members disrupted a speech by the Israeli ambassador earlier this year, heightening a debate about free speech that has roiled the campus.
UPDATING as i get more info…
The decision appears to be the first in recent memory at UC recommending the ban of a student group for something other than hazing or alcohol abuse.
In making the suspension recommendation, Lisa Cornish, UC Irvine’s director of student housing, found that the Muslim Student Union had “planned, orchestrated and coordinated in advance” an effort to disrupt a speech by Israeli Ambassador Michael Oren on Feb. 8 about U.S.-Israeli relations. The recommendation was made in late May but not made public at that time.
Oren was shouted down repeatedly by Muslim students who stood up and delivered statements such as “Michael Oren, propagating murder is not an expression of free speech.” Supporters cheered as the students were escorted away by police, and each time Oren attempted to resume his speech, another student jumped up with another outburst.
OH, and this is just perfect: “Reem Salahi, the students’ attorney, described the suspension recommendation as “excessive” and “draconian.” She said it is not final and that her clients have appealed the decision.”…Salahi said she worried the recommendation could jeopardize Muslim life on campus. Victor Sanchez, president of the systemwide UC Student Assn., said he was outraged. “It’s almost impossible not to interpret this as a means of the university to silence dissent,” he said.
HEY VIC…go **** a goat, you sellout. I would love to meet with you to discuss the finer points of Pentjak Silat. Vic, you are a race/culture traitor. You gave up your proud latin heritage and got on your knees for the ummah, you sir, are scum. One day you are going to grow up and you will be embarrassed by what you did in your younger days.
The External Vice Chair deals with issues that directly affect students here at UC Santa Cruz on the local, state, and national levels. The EVC is primarily in charge of organizing lobbying efforts, campaigns, and conferences, working with national and statewide associations to inform, educate, empower, create awareness, and initiate dialogue among students. The EVC will work to make the University of California Students Association (UCSA) and the United States Students Association (USSA) more transparent to officers and the General Body, making sure the undergraduate population knows of the opportunities these two associations have to offer. The EVC will also work to keep students up to date about the Santa Cruz community, state and national issues, being the main contact for city council members, legislators, other UC’s, etc.

Jewish groups cite several incidents of perceived anti-Semitism on campus, including the defacing of an Israeli flag in a dorm room, the display of a poster equating the Star of David with a swastika, the vandalizing of a Holocaust memorial, and a 2006 program sponsored by the Muslim Student Union titled “Holocaust in the Holy Land” and “Israel: The Fourth Reich.”
I’m not as smart as journalism grads….how is the above paragraphs details “PERCEIVED ANTISEMITISM”?

Great but I’ll bet the house they back down? Any takers? And just so ya know, the bank owns my house so it ain’t no great deal even if ya win.
It is about fucking time. I doubt seriously they would have allowed a campus branch of the KKK to operate the way they have the anti-Semitic, anti-American Mohammedans to. And rightly so. Just as the KKK should be barred from campus, so too should the Mohammedan Student Association.
still looking/updating…
Actually I just read the article ( always a good thing to do ). It’s ONLY a one year suspension. And I am not even sure it means their offices are closed. Just that they are “decertified” as a student organization?
@ Nevergiveup:
I’ll back you on that.
@ Nevergiveup:
They would never ban the Muzzie group. These people are treated as divine beings in America.
Good news. Finally some push back against these animals. There is no room in civil society for violent aggressive agitators like this. They want to use our laws and rights to push Islam and sharia. They scream for freedom and tolerance but of course, try to block others from even speaking. This is how it begins where ever the muzz encroach.
Imagine the atrocities they would commit if they would ever gain power.
Fck them.
I agree, it is about time.
I also think they will back down quietly when they think the coast is clear. The anti-Jewish hatred has been going on too long with a wink and a nod from the administration and the campus at large for anyone not to know what the score is and support it.
@ Nevergiveup:
I would take that to mean they will lose funding from student activity fees for a short time. I am sure the brotherhood will step up.
updating….they are being defended by a traitor, victor sanchez

Any Latin who supports our Muzzie enemy deserves death. Our ancestors fought 700 to remove the Disease called Islam from the homeland.

Oh, I forgot UC is a public school so sodomizing goats on the Quad would fly too, once you find an attorney shameless enough to bend meanings to fit an agenda.
@m, @coldwarrior
May I ask you something ?
I had an e-mail exchange with a friend from Orlando, a republican, but he is very concerned that the tea-party-movement will split the vote of the ROP and weaken her in the coming primaries and so help the Democrats.
What is your opinion ?
@ coldwarrior:
He’s a traitor
@ Guggi:
The problem isn’t the Tea Parties. It’s that when Tea Party Candidates like Marco Rubio win a primamry or are ahead, Progressive Republicans like Charlie Crist run as independents.The Establishement Republicans are the ones trying to divide the vote.
@ Guggi:
it wont split the vote in the general election.
there is a revolution going on in the republican party, the revolution happens in the primaries. your friend seems scared…methinks maybe he am a rino….
@ Rodan:
Whoever is the sourve of the dividing: without Tea-Party there wouldn’t be any splitting.
@ coldwarrior:
I can confess: NOOO, he isn’t.
@ coldwarrior:
The GOP base is tired of the Progressive Rockerfeller Republicans who run the Party.
@ Guggi:
then he has nothing to worry about, every now and then this occurs in politics.
@ Guggi:
Yeah but the Republican Party elites have ignored the base for over 20 years. We are tired of the Progressive Republicans. We want Reaganism back, the Tea Parties are the fault of the GOP elites.
This is sh*t and wether English nor German nor….
@ Rodan:
Rodan, I do understand this but the Democrats could be the laughing third party, couldn’t she ?
@ Guggi:
I can’t speak for the rest of the country, but in my district the “establishment republicans” are wooing tea partiers, lol. No split. My rep spoke at the Carolina Sweet Tea party last year.
@ Guggi:
I do understand this but the Democrats could be the laughing third party, couldn’t she ?
Regardless of outcome, its a matter of principal.
How can you have a revolution without principals?
And what revolution ever began within a status quo power structure.

@ coldwarrior:
I’ll disagree there, but Guggi is missing the point. The popular will is with the Tea Parties. It is the GOP establishment that is running counter to the popular will (and, of course, the Democrats as a whole). There isn’t going to be a third Party split, though, except where you have traitors to the Party like Charlie Crist running. Crist really just wants to make sure a conservative doesn’t get in. He is dispicable.

Washington Sketch: Clinton finally ahead of Obama in popularity
By Dana Milbank
Tuesday, June 15, 2010
It’s about two years too late, but Hillary Clinton has finally pulled ahead of Barack Obama.
By any measure — favorability ratings or job approval — Americans by a sizable margin have warmer views of the secretary of state than they do of the president. This is of little use to Clinton beyond bragging rights, but among Hillary ’08 fans there is some satisfaction that the woman Obama once cut down as “likable enough” is now more liked than he is. Depending on the measure and the poll, she leads him by roughly 10 to 25 percentage points.
