The notice was sent out to the chapter’s leaders, removing their funding from the university as well as their permits to hold activities on campus.

“He took a step that no other university president has taken get rid of all clubs on campus that support Hamas and other terrorist groups,” said Noah Levi, the president of Brandeis Israel Public Affairs Committee, “It's terrifying to know that there are students willing to say that they stand with a terrorist organization.”
