NPR had a little more context for this. Tabassum had posted on social media about Palestine, and a student group "Trojans (the USC mascot) for Israel" objected. USC claims that that objection grew beyond the college but is very unclear about how that relates to safety.

I just wanted to clarify because stances on events in the Middle East are related to but not the same as Muslim or Jewish identity, so given this context I thought the topic title was a little misleading. For instance, I think in this case the same thing would have probably happened with an irreligious white student who had the same social media posts.
