UW-Milwaukee suspends student groups after antisemitic social media post

The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee announced Wednesday five student organizations have been temporarily suspended after posting antisemitic language on social media accounts.

The groups are associated with a coalition that posted the “alarming” messages on Instagram last week, according to the university.

“A July 19 Instagram story post to the uwm4palicoalition account included intimidating language aimed at Jewish community members and organizations that support Israel,” according to a statement from the school. “UWM strongly denounced the post, and any form of antisemitism.”
