Columbia University recently suspended two student groups on its campus, Students for Justice in Palestine and Jewish Voices for Peace.

Now, a reported 500 alumni are cheering on the Ivy League institution after it took a stand against the organization’s “threatening rhetoric and intimidation,” according to The New York Post.

The school’s chapters of Students for Justice in Palestine and Jewish Voice for Peace lost their recognition as official student groups “through the end of the fall term,” according to a Friday announcement from Senior Executive Vice President of the University and Special Committee on Campus Safety Chair Gerald Rosberg.

”This decision was made after the two groups repeatedly violated University policies related to holding campus events, culminating in an unauthorized event Thursday afternoon that proceeded despite warnings and included threatening rhetoric and intimidation,’ said Rosberg.
