Call for disbanding NSJP chapters
Chancellor Ray Rodrigues, of Florida’s university system, is calling on schools to disband chapters of the group National Students for Justice in Palestine amid the war between Israel and Hamas. In a letter to the presidents of Florida’s 12 state universities yesterday, he cited a Florida law that prohibits providing materials in support of a designated foreign terrorist organization. In calling for the chapters to be disbanded, Rodrigues said they could be restarted in ways that comply with state law.
