Lingua Islamica: UCI Responds to Anti-Semitism Claims

Zionist groups have been attacking the right to free speech of the Muslim Student Union at the University of California, Irvine by pressuring the university to take action against the group for its programs in solidarity with the Palestinian cause. The university responded by defending the MSU’s right to free speech. In a statement, the university's Vice Chancellor of Student Affairs Manuel Gomez said:

“Some individuals want us to place limits on freedom of expression. The university is legally obligated to protect speech on a content neutral basis. Inevitably the university must allow some speech that some may find offensive.

“UCI does not sponsor events encouraging intolerance. Indeed, while student and other groups may use our campus to espouse ideas that at times may be offensive, when they do so they are exercising their right to free speech.”
