The University of Waterloo has issued a legal trespass notice to Occupy UWaterloo members, who set up an encampment on campus on May 13. As has been the case with encampments at other universities, Occupy UWaterloo members want the school to divest of companies that support Israel as the war against Hamas in Gaza continues.The University of Waterloo has issued a legal trespass notice to members of Occupy UWaterloo who have had a campus encampment in place since mid-May.

"The university has protected everyone's right to free speech and expression throughout this protest activity. This has included myriad disruptive protest actions on campus since November 2023. However, the behaviour of encampment members is becoming untenable." "We will not stop. We will remain steadfast and committed to our cause and the people of Palestine," the group's post said.

Nick Joseph, spokesperson for Occupy UWaterloo, said at the time it was clear to them the "university is undoubtedly pressured by what we're doing."
