After days of silence, a trio of York University student unions released a joint statement refusing to back down from its controversial position about the Israel-Hamas war.
In a post late Tuesday night, the York Federation of Students, York’s graduate student Union and Glendon College union reaffirmed the stance they took in an Oct. 12 statement about the conflict in the Middle East, calling the attacks on Israeli civilians days earlier an “act of resistance.” They also took aim at the university, rejecting York authorities’ demands for union executives to retract their original statement and step down.
