The suspension from campus of the Students for Justice in Palestine chapter at Cornell University has been lifted, a university spokeswoman told JNS.

“After serving six months on temporary suspension, SJP resolved their conduct case and was recently reapproved as a registered organization at Cornell,” the spokeswoman said. “The organization is on disciplinary probation through the end of the spring semester.”

In a Tuesday op-ed published in The Cornell Daily Sun, the SJP chapter stated it was suspended over a walkout conducted during a March event on campus because it featured Tzipi Livni, former Israeli vice prime minister, and Ryan Crocker, former U.S. ambassador to Afghanistan.

Other speakers at the event were Salam Fayyad, former prime minister of the Palestinian Authority, and Daniel Shapiro, former U.S. ambassador to Israel.

Michael Kotlikoff, the president of the university, stated at the time that “the event was marred by disappointing disruptions” and SJP faced suspension “for advertising and organizing this disruption.”

The SJP chapter stated in its op-ed in the Sun that “we’re excited to be back on campus.”
