On August 30, anti-Israel protesters attempted to disrupt an event at California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo, featuring two wounded Israel Defense Forces veterans. The event, titled “Rising to the Challenge,” was hosted by Mustangs United for Israel and Chabad of SLO and Cal Poly, and sponsored by CAMERA. Protesters, some masked and holding signs with slogans like “U.N. says genocide,” refused to leave even after being instructed by authorities that they were violating university rules. Cal Poly police officers directed the individuals to leave, citing violations of the university’s time, place, and manner policy, and the protesters complied without arrests. Hali Spiegel of CAMERA stated that the disruptions created a “hostile environment” and that “students should not have to weigh whether attending an event will mean being mobbed, intimidated or forced to leave under police protection.”
