In response to concerns raised by the Zionist Organization of America (ZOA) – that the Muslim Student Union (MSU), a registered student group on campus, may have illegally used the University of California, Irvine (UCI) as a base for fundraising for the terrorist group Hamas – the ZOA was notified by UCI today that “the University has referred that matter to law enforcement officials for action as they deem appropriate.” In response to related concerns raised by the ZOA – that the conduct of University employees and the MSU may have violated University policies – UCI notified the ZOA that the University has “initiated an internal review of these matters, and will proceed as expeditiously as possible.” In a letter faxed to the ZOA last night, Diane Fields Geocaris, UCI’s Chief Campus Counsel and Associate General Counsel, said, “UC Irvine takes very seriously all allegations of wrongdoing. We appreciate your [ZOA] bringing this to our attention.” Ms. Geocaris sent copies of her letter to UC President Mark Yudof, UCI Chancellor Michael Drake, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, U.S. Congressman Brad Sherman (D-CA), and California Assemblyman Chuck DeVore, among others.
