York University is moving closer to a formal process that could lead to the removal of recognition of student unions accused of offensive statements in the Hamas-Israel conflict.

York University faces calls to decertify student union over statement of solidarity with Palestinians

The university said in a statement Friday that it had tried repeatedly to engage with the unions to raise concerns about the statement, which the university said had caused “concerns, outrage and fear” on its Toronto campus.— and co-signed by York University Graduate Student’s Association and Glendon College Student Union — appeared to refer to an attack by Hamas on Israel as justified.

The student union’s statement drew rapid criticism and led to calls for York University to remove its recognition of the groups.
