What started as a motion passed by students at the University of Regina Students’ Union annual general meeting last month has become a contentious issue both on campus and off, following recent comments in the House of Commons from one of Saskatchewan’s members of Parliament.
During this year’s AGM, U of R student John Keitel took the floor and asked for a motion to be forwarded by the student’s union that would support the rights of Palestinian people and initiate a boycott, divestment and sanction (BDS) campaign against the state of Israel. The motion was then passed with a near-unanimous majority.

On Feb. 7, editors of the Carillon, along with approximately a dozen other students, attempted to attend an early-morning board of governors meeting without the required approval. But, as expected, they were barred entrance by security and spent several hours protesting outside the doors. This did not sit well with some.
