Abstract

A Quebec judge has rejected McGill University's request to dismantle a large protest encampment on its campus in Montreal. The pro-Palestinian protesters are calling for divestment from companies doing business in Israel and the cutting of ties with Israeli academic institutions. McGill argued that the encampment posed risks due to sanitation and fire hazards, but the judge ruled that the university did not meet the criteria for an injunction. This decision reflects the ongoing challenges faced by universities in handling protests, with some resorting to negotiation or forceful removal. [Extracted from the article]
