The motion marks an evolution in APUO’s calls to the university. Previous statements by the union highlighted incidents of academic infringements by the U of O related to pro-Palestinian protests on campus in December 2023. The union also published a statement on the right to protest on campus, calling for “transparency and for divestment from corporations complicit in human rights abuses.”
U of O administration has sent an updated proposal to encampment organizers, one week after their previous offer. INSAF immediately came out in opposition to the offer on Instagram.
U of O students returned on Apr. 30 despite rain to continue protesting for Palestinians in Gaza, and eventually set up an encampment on Tabaret Lawn.
Students and community members took to Tabaret Lawn in solidarity for Palestinians — but what are their demands to the U of O?
On April 27, 2024, University of Ottawa clubs Integrity Not Spite Against Falastin (INSAF) and the Palestinian Student Association (PSA) announced plans for a sit-in protest on Tabaret Lawn starting Monday, April 29 from 12-9 p.m.
