What are the immediate consequences of Swarthmore College's actions against the student and SJP group, and what precedent might this set for other universities?

Swarthmore College suspended a student two months before graduation for using a bullhorn indoors during a 2023 protest, marking the first such suspension nationally. Ten students, predominantly students of color, received sanctions for participation in pro-Palestine protests between October 2023 and March 2024. The college also suspended the Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) group, citing false claims and a racist social media post.
