The University of Toronto says it's hopeful that graduation ceremonies set to begin today will proceed without disruption as a pro-Palestinian encampment remains on campus despite looming legal action.
The delay means most of the graduates and their family members attending ceremonies at the downtown campus will likely pass by the fenced-in camp, and the university has expressed concern about potential disruptions. "We would have hoped that Jewish students would be able to participate in convocation free from having an encampment that intrudes on their sense of joy and their sense of celebration – as all members of the University of Toronto community should be able to do," said Rabbi Seth Goren, chief executive officer of Hillel Ontario.
