In the 2009–2010 college school year, MSU consistently collected donations and spread awareness about the devastating events that took place in Indonesia and Haiti. Through coin drives, selling food on campus, and other creative ways, MSU sponsored relief efforts for Haiti. After the deadly southeast Asian tsunami disaster in 2004, MSU raised $12,000 in relief money for countries affected by the disaster. Additionally, the MSU regularly collaborates with campus organizations to put on a variety of different events. In 2008 and 2009, MSU co-sponsored a week of events entitled "Gears of War." In the Winter Quarter of 2009, the purpose of this week was to host "a series of events surrounding the 6th anniversary of the US invasion of Iraq and the role of the university in supporting imperialism" and "to highlight issues concerning the occupations in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Palestine and elsewhere and discuss how we can collectively organize against imperialism throughout the world." The week was co-hosted by the UCI Worker Student Alliance, Muslim Student Union, Amnesty International at UCI, Darfur Action Committee, Campaign for Consciousness, and Students for a Sensible Drug Policy. In 2015, the organization received a grant from the western branch of the Muslim Students Association to partially fund a food bank in conjunction with the university's student retention center. For several years, the MSU has organized a week-long event, usually coinciding with the Israeli Independence Day, calling for boycotting, divesting from, and sanctioning the State of Israel. This annual event attracts local and national media every year for what some, including academics who specialize in the study of antisemitism, refer to as anti-Semitic rhetoric advanced by the MSU. The Anti-Defamation League, an organization that describes itself as dedicated to "combating anti-Semitism and bigotry of all kinds," has described the Muslim Student Union as being "responsible for staging large events every spring featuring virulently antisemitic speakers." In regards to this notion an investigation in 2007 was conducted by the Office of Civil Rights (OCR). The OCR report stated: OCR's investigation revealed that during these events many speakers criticized Israel, its governmental policies, its treatment of the Palestinians, and Jews throughout the world who support Israel. Most speakers distinguished opposition to Zionism from opposition to Jews. Other speakers did not do so, yet their criticism of Jews was focused on their perceived support of Israel. OCR's investigation also revealed that some speakers made broad generalizations about Jews, which were offensive to Jewish students.
