The Palestine Solidarity Committee (PSC), a pro-Palestinian student group at the University of Texas at Austin, has been placed on interim suspension by the university. The suspension comes in the wake of several arrests of PSC members earlier this week during anti-Israel protests on campus.

In a statement posted on Instagram, the PSC accused the university of repeatedly changing protest policies and being deliberately vague about these changes. They called the suspension an attack on free speech and accused the university of enabling Israel's alleged genocidal campaign against the Palestinian people.

The university spokesperson confirmed that the interim suspension was due to PSC's alleged violation of institutional rules related to student conduct and integrity. As a result of the suspension, the organization is prohibited from hosting on-campus events, reserving rooms, and working with faculty.

The suspension followed the arrest of over 30 people during an anti-Israel protest on UT Austin's campus, during which demonstrators were heard chanting derogatory remarks against law enforcement. The Austin Police Department and the Texas Department of Public Safety made arrests to prevent any unlawful assembly and to support the UT Police in maintaining peace.

UT Austin President Jay Hartzell released a statement defending the university's decision to shut down the protest, emphasizing the importance of enforcing rules. He acknowledged the emotional nature of the events and described it as a challenging day for many.

The PSC's suspension has drawn attention and raised questions about the balance between freedom of speech and the need to enforce institutional rules. Additional comments from both PSC and the university were sought by Fox News Digital.

It is worth noting that while the PSC's suspension is effective immediately, no specific duration was mentioned in the provided information.
