The University of Florida has banned a graduate student teaching assistant from its Gainesville campus for three years after he allegedly vandalized a pro-Israel sign at a Jewish fraternity late last month.

Simon Nicolas Lowry, 24, is facing two misdemeanor criminal mischief raps for cutting through the word “Israel” on a banner reading “AEπ stands with Israel” hanging in front of Alpha Epsilon Pi.

Lowry, a graduate teaching assistant in the school’s Department of Astronomy, was reportedly captured in the act on surveillance cameras outside the fraternity house.

Campus cops said Lowry admitted to the vandalism late last month.

“This student’s actions were deliberate and unacceptable and will not be tolerated at the University of Florida,” campus Police Chief Linda Stump-Kurnick said in a statement. “Free speech is protected. Vandalism is not. And we will do our very best to ensure that the University of Florida is a welcoming place for all.”

The school hit Lowry with a trespass order in the wake of the charges.

He declined to comment on the case when reached by a student newspaper, Fresh Take Florida.

Meanwhile, two Republican Florida lawmakers introduced two bills that would penalize students for expressing support of Hamas.

Sponsored by Sen. Blaise Ingoglia and Rep. John Temple, the laws would target any student who “promotes a foreign terrorist organization.”

Violators would be compelled to pay higher out-of-state tuition rates and become ineligible for state grants and financial aid.

The bills, which will be considered for passage in January, list both Hamas and Islamic Jihad as groups students would be barred from backing.

“Florida taxpayers should not be in the business of subsidizing the education of terrorist sympathizers who wish to do us, and others, harm,” state Ingoglia said in a statement.

Democrats are expected to oppose the legislation.

“Instead of addressing issues like property insurance, the Florida Legislature will be targeting students who they say are promoting terrorism,” state Rep. Anna Eskamani (D-Orlando) posted on social media.
