Canadian university sues its own students over encampment for Palestine : canada

Good.

Bring it on! Let them sue, let them lose, and let them be forced to pay damages to the students.

I fucking hope the students can raise the money to make this a big case that destroys the University's leadership.

Yeah, because students... THEY'RE the ones with all the money.

Wow, univesities are supposed to be thought incubators, not censors

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 months ago

Now they mostly just incubate capitalism and behave like a business.

A liberal is a conservative whose privilege hasn't been challenged yet.

The Ezra street parties that cost the city thousands are totally fine. but they freak out over a few tents. The only reason this school is around is that it's a feeder school to a lot of local tech companies that want fresh meat to grind.

People outside of KW might not be aware of how much these parties sucked for everyone. The universities did nothing about them

It also gets a lot of research money. As a UW grad, I can confirm that the students are the absolute lowest priority though. If you're not in a research-focused post grad program, you're seen as a chore.

UW administration hates its students.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 months ago

Shame.

Complicity in genocide? Okay?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 4 months ago (1 children)

How is this in any way difficult to grasp?

[–] [email protected] -2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

How are they complicit in it?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Quick google search returned:

A group of about 100 protesters gathered outside the University of Waterloo during a senate meeting Monday demanding the school boycott and divest from all institutions supporting Israel in the midst of the ongoing war.

So it sounds like UW is still supporting groups who are supporting the ongoing genocide in Gaza.

So they might have year long projects with universities in Israel = they are complicit in genocide?

Being okay with genocide as long as you have other interests you don't wish to risk by taking a stand against it is kinda basically "complicit", isn't it?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

No, that is not what complicit means.

Using the same logic: You pay taxes? Complicit in everything that happens with those. From good to bad. Not stopping cars on the road? Complicit in stealing buses etc. their customers. And of course also complicit in road kills.
