Rutgers University has released a new set of “guidelines for free expression on campus” that would limit the large anti-Israel demonstrations seen on campus during the previous academic year.
The public university announced the new rules on Tuesday, which include a ban on encampment protests and a requirement for groups to submit request forms three days in advance of protests. Rutgers will require such activist events to take place in a designated field.
Also, in an emailed statement obtained by NorthJersey.com, the school confirmed that it had placed the New Brunswick chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine on suspension for the upcoming school year, to continue until at least July 4, 2025.
Rutgers spokesperson Dory Devlin said in a statement that the anti-Israel organization had “violated the terms of their probationary status and other university policies by disrupting final exams and university operations and failing to comply with university directives.”
