UWM temporarily suspends 5 student organizations associated with intimidating Instagram posts

MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee says they have suspended five student organizations associated with a coalition that posted "alarming messages" on Instagram. 

The suspensions come as part of UWM's ongoing investigation. 

UWM says an Instagram story posted on July 19 from the uwm4palicoalition account included intimidating language aimed at Jewish community members and organizations that support Israel. UWM says they strongly denounced the post, and any form of antisemitism. 

The UWM student organizations that are temporarily suspended include Students for Justice in Palestine, the Muslim Student Association, Students for a Democratic Society, Young Democratic Socialists of America and Un-PAC, all of which identified as part of the coalition in the spring, according to UWM.
