MONTREAL, AUG 8 – McGill University aims to cut funding over support for Students for Palestine’s Honour and Resistance following protests against investments linked to Gaza military actions, unions say.
- Four unions affiliated with McGill’s faculty, employees, and teaching assistants claim that the university is attempting to intimidate and dissolve a student group focused on social justice.
- This allegation follows McGill's spring announcement to cut ties with its student union after a three-day strike protesting investments linked to military action in Gaza.
- Earlier this year, McGill University issued a formal warning to a social-justice student organization, instructing it to cease backing Students for Palestine’s Honour and Resistance, which had established a lengthy encampment on the downtown campus the previous year.
- The student strike caused dozens of classes to be blocked or interrupted, reflecting deep tensions over McGill's alleged attacks on free speech and funding suspensions.
- These developments suggest escalating conflict between McGill administration and campus groups supporting pro-Palestinian causes, raising concerns over freedom of expression.
