Faculty members show solidarity with protesters at McMaster University

The pro-Palestinian encampment at McMaster University is in its third week. On Thursday, faculty members joined the students in solidarity during ongoing negotiations with the university.

The protestors’ negotiating team is meeting with the university’s dean of student affairs for the second night in a row.

Students say they’ve been told by the university an offer is coming soon, whether that will be Thursday evening is still unclear. They are hoping to hear back about a proposal they presented to the dean Wednesday night.

Protestors are staying tight-lipped about the details of that proposal but signalled earlier that they won’t leave until the university meets all their demands.

Students and faculty also marched into the McMaster University library Thursday where they met with special constables who allowed the students to stage a peaceful protest which included speeches by professors at the school.
