The acting president of the University of Victoria Faculty Association says her group is concerned about “the high levels of security and surveillance” for a pro-Palestinian encampment established on the university grounds on Wednesday.
UVic Students’ Society spokesperson Isabelle Easton said she has similar concerns about police surveillance, although her group is not involved with the camp. The protesters are demanding that the university divest from corporations supporting Israel and cut academic ties to Israel. They’re also calling for the end of “the ongoing genocide of Palestinians.”
He said people at the camp are students “for the most part,” although non-students have been there to show support and drop off supplies.
