Students made their demands clear – for York University to Disclose, Divest, and Boycott. Early this morning, Thursday, June 6th, 2024, York University Administration made the shameful and violent decision to call militarized Toronto Police Services onto the Keele campus leading to the arrest of three students and community members, fines, and violent dismantling of the Encampment without prior dialogue. At approximately 8:00 am this morning, riot police were invited onto campus by the Administration to forcefully arrest, issue trespass notices, and tear down tents while students slept inside. To intentionally invite TPS in the early hours of the day while no one else is present is shameful. To issue trespass notices to students who pay to access a public campus and its facilities is shameful and sends the message that York University campus is for a select few, rather than a diverse all. Just yesterday, Wednesday, June 5th, York University stated “The university will be seeking to establish a dialogue with the individuals in the encampment,” however, today’s raid comes before the Administration even opened conversations with the students facilitating the encampment. York University continues to intentionally misrepresent those in the encampment as “individuals” rather than students of York University. <https://socialistproject.ca/?p=3701#more> Continue reading Follow the Socialist Project on Social Media: <https://www.facebook.com/socialistproject/> <https://twitter.com/socialistprojct> <https://www.instagram.com/socialistproject/> <http://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsocialistproject.ca/?p=3701> Share on Facebook _____ The Bullet is produced by the Socialist Project.
