Benoit-Antoine Bacon says in response to demands by the organizers of a protest encampment on the Vancouver campus that professors and students hold a broad range of opinions and the university can't"presume to speak for everyone."
He says the university isn't engaging in"moral relativism," and it hopes for a ceasefire and a lasting peace in the Middle East. Other demands include the university divesting from companies associated with Israel and its actions in Gaza, a boycott of Israeli institutions, a ban on the RCMP on campus, and an affirmation of"Palestinians' right to resist."
On the matter of a boycott, he says the university respects faculty members who want to engage in academic partnerships.
