The Rowan chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine, known as SPJ, is under investigation by campus officials for sharing a meeting poster on campus and on Instagram on Feb. 4 for a welcome event the following day.
The poster included an illustration of a masked man holding a slingshot and wearing a keffiyeh, the black-and-white checkered headscarf that has become a symbol of support for the Palestinian people.
Students for Justice in Palestine said in a statement that a “far right-wing group” called Make NJ Red circulated the poster online, alleging the students were connected to external groups that promoted violence and terrorism.
That led to thousands of complaints to Rowan officials, the student group said in a statement on Instagram. Make NJ Red also demanded the university take action against the student organization, SPJ’s statement said.
