Commitment to revise and accordingly break off relationships with academic zionist institutions such as the tel-aviv exchange program The formal adoption of the Arab Canadian Lawyers’ Association definition of Anti-Palestinian Racism   As a community, it is our duty to support the students’ right to protest peacefully, and their right to academic freedom and freedom of speech. We support the students’ encampment at the University of Ottawa and their demands and we call on the university administration to engage in negotiations with the students in good faith and with transparency. We firmly denounce and oppose all acts and expressions of anti-Palestinian racism, anti-Arab racism, Islamophobia, antisemitism, and all forms of racism and discrimination. Stand with us to hold the University accountable! https://actionnetwork.org/letters/uottawadivestnow
