Chapters of two pro-Palestinian student groups at the University of California–Los Angeles (UCLA) are facing disciplinary action after taking their fight against the ongoing Israeli–Hamas conflict to the house of a UC regent.

The UCLA Office of Student Conduct issued an interim suspension to the UCLA chapters of two registered student organizations, Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) and Graduate Students for Justice in Palestine (GSJP),  after pro-Palestinian protestors showed up at the home of University of California Regent Jonathan “Jay” Sures early Wednesday morning.
