McGill University on Monday declared a pro-Palestinian encampment on its campus, which grew significantly but remained peaceful over the weekend, illegal and denounced alleged antisemitic behaviour among protesters.
In a statement Monday, McGill said the growing encampment violates the university’s policies and the law. It said it discussed “conditions in place to ensure safety as well as a timeline to remove the tents” with lawyers for McGill students but that students “did not bring any proposals or suggestions to further the dialogue.”
