Ryerson University, Toronto
The student union of Ryerson University in Toronto voted to join the
Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement aimed at Israel, at least the
third Canadian university to do so in the last year.
The vote on took place at the Ryerson Student Union’s annual general
meeting on April 2, which was attended by over one hundred students who
came to vote on the question of whether the student union should join
the BDS movement, the Eyeopener student newspaper reported.
Following passage of the motion,
the Ryerson Student Union will now be
prohibited from working with companies who do business in Israel,
including Home Depot, Costco and Sears, the Eyeopener reported. Sabra
Hummus, sold at the Ryerson cafeteria, also will be discontinued.
Students opposed to the BDS motion, many of whom tore up their voting
cards and left the meeting in protest, said they felt the vote was
unfair and that the student union was hostile
to their interests...

about wiping clean computer hard drives when he didn’t.
