The University of California, Irvine, has suspended a Muslim student group for at least a year because of a protest that disrupted a talk by Israeli ambassador Michael Oren and led to the arrests of 11 students.
The university on Monday released a report from a student affairs disciplinary committee to Muslim Student Union leaders. It says the group was found guilty of disorderly conduct, obstructing university activities and other violations of campus policy.
During a speech about U.S.-Israeli relations, the group allegedly interrupted Oren 10 times. Some shouted comments like "propagating murder is not an expression of free speech," according to the LA Times.
The group has insisted it did not organize the protests, but the committee found it did engineer the protests and instructed participants to lie about its involvement.
The groups attorney was disheartened by the schools actions and has appealed the suspension, according to the Times.
