Leadership at the University of Colorado Boulder asked campus police to shut down the planned screening of a Palestinian film hosted by two student groups earlier this month.

CU’s administration and police department said they did so because one of the groups, Boulder Students for Justice in Palestine , isn’t in good standing with the university and hadn’t properly reserved the auditorium for the screening. But a representative of the student group said they had been allowed to book the facility in advance.

The incident happened Sept. 5 after Students for Justice in Palestine and GUT-C , a student filmmaking group, organized a screening of a 2009 film “The Time That Remains,” which chronicles the lives of a Palestinian family after the 1948 Israeli occupation of their homeland.
