Brown University has suspended its chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) pending an external investigation into alleged conduct violations during a recent protest. The university's spokesperson indicated that the suspension follows serious allegations of threatening, intimidating, and harassing actions by members of the group, which included banging on a vehicle, shouting profanities, and using a racial epithet directed at an individual of color. The protest occurred outside a board of trustees meeting earlier this month, prompting the university's decision to take action against the chapter.
