TL;DR
McGill University plans to sever its relationship with the undergraduate student union after a series of pro-Palestinian protests occurred on campus. The decision arose following allegations that the student union supported actions that McGill views as contravening its policies on peaceful protest and inclusivity. This move reflects the ongoing tensions surrounding campus activism related to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and underscores the challenges universities face in balancing freedom of expression with maintaining a respectful and safe academic environment.
