Several universities in the United States have been involved in controversies related to the Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) chapters and their actions. Case Western Reserve University suspended its SJP chapter for not following postering policy and failing to respond to inquiries. Tufts University saw the passing of three anti-Israel resolutions by the student senate, which the university rejected. Columbia University's Columbia College Student Council voted to boycott companies supporting Israeli Apartheid and Genocide, impacting over $1 million in student fees. Ohio State University removed a BDS question from the ballot due to campaign violations by SJP, leading to the cancellation of the vote.
