The State University System of Florida, the body that governs the 12 public universities in the state, noted in ato university leaders earlier this week that the SJP chapters needed to be dismantled as part of “a crackdown on campus demonstrations” because of the group’s “harmful support for terrorist groups.
With more than 200 chapters across North America, SJP is a national student movement that organizes for “Palestinian liberation and self-determination,” according to the national chapter’s website. Conservatives have long criticized the group, claiming it supports the militant group Hamas and is antisemitic. SJP has denied those accusations.
