UCLA's Student Council Tries To Hide Video Of Its Members Questioning A Jewish Student

The Undergraduate Students Association Council at the University of California, Los Angeles, has taken down the video of a meeting where members asked what they've since acknowledged were inappropriate questions about a student's Jewish identity.

The university's USAC typically posts recordings of its meetings on YouTube. But the student government took down the footage of a Feb. 10 meeting where several students questioned whether Rachel Beyda, a Jewish candidate for the school's judicial board, could be "unbiased" given her religion.

Various news reports on the controversy this week prompted the hosts of MSNBC's "Morning Joe" to call on the university to put the video back online Friday. But the university told The Huffington Post that the decision to pull the video was made by the USAC's internal vice president's office.
