Support grows for “Gaza House” solidarity encampment at UWaterloo
The Gaza House solidarity encampment at the University of Waterloo continues to gather support while negotiations with the school’s administration have stalled.
The indications of support include a letter of support from faculty, staff, and librarians from UW and Wilfrid Laurier University and a statement of solidarity from the chairman of PSAC 902 which represents graduate students and teaching assistants at WLU. Rallies have been held by Gaza House which brought hundred supporters to campus.
This show features Sarah A., a student member of the encampment’s negotiating team. Sarah asked for partial anonymity because she fears being targeted off campus by agitators who do not support the solidarity encampment.
CKMS News also spoke with Law Professor Irina Ceric about students’ protest rights and reactions to encampments from administration at different universities.
CKMS News was told by UW representatives that no one was available to comment despite repeated requests.
