York University has issued a warning: if the institution’s student unions do not recant or sufficiently defend their collective statement on the Israel-Hamas conflict, they will risk losing their relationship with the university.

The university’s statement, released to the public on Friday, addressed the “serious and ongoing harms caused by statement,” which declares “solidarity with the Palestinian people” against “the settler-colonial apartheid state of so-called Israel.”

In its statement, York University said the unions must retract the statement, issue an apology, acknowledge the impact of the statement on campus, and remove all union executives by 5 p.m. on Oct. 25. If it’s determined the statement did break the school’s anti-harassment policy, York said it could impose sanctions, the most severe of which would be cutting ties with the offending union.
