Pro-Palestinian protesters gathered at York University’s Keele Campus Thursday where they accused the university’s president, Rhonda Lenton, and her administration of being “racist.”

York Federation of Students Vice President of Campaigns & Advocacy, Somar Abuaziza, said “We have seen the extreme rise of anti-Palestinian racism on-campus in the last eight months. But these actions did not start in 2023. In fact, in 2019, the university allowed for the invitation of the IOF (Israel Occupation Forces) on our campus.”

Abuaziza added “They’ve shown us what vigils they deem worthy of attending and which lives they prioritize over others.”

“Rhonda Lenton, we are tired, we are disgusted and we will not stop until this university takes accountability for its on-going anti-Palestinian racism,” Abuaziza said. She stated that they are demanding Lenton and her administration resign from their positions.
