UCI campus policy 83.20 reads: "Chancellors...shall establish procedures to allow a student to seek a refund of that portion of his or her fee which he or she believes continues to support political, ideological, or religious organizations or activities." The Muslim Student Union (MSU) at UC Irvine was allocated a substantial amount of student fees (approximately $6,500) to host a politically and ideologically charged event titled "Israeli Apartheid Week" for four days (May 10-13, 2010). Many claim that this event was anti-Jewish in nature. On May 13th MSU hosted a speaker, Amir-Abdel Malik-Ali, who advocated support for Hamas and Hezbollah, which are regarded by the US government to be foreign terrorist organizations. He also publicly stated his support for Islamic jihad, and lastly he stated his support for jihad to be brought to UC Irvine. He ended the event with a very hateful statement: "You Jews...ya'll the new Nazis!" You can watch the incident here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8OJvR7hAT8 UCI Chancellor Michael Drake, who usually does not make statements regarding this annual MSU event, found the above so appalling that he issued a public statement condemning Malik-Ali's speech just two days after the event.
