Open Letter to President Lenton and the York University Board of Governors

We write as York faculty members in support of the York Popular University for Palestine encampment, and outraged by your shameful decision to call in the police to clear it on its second day.

On June 5th, 2024 students at York University erected an encampment protesting the ongoing Israeli assault against Gaza and calling for York to end its complicity with institutions that enable the assault. The following morning the students at the encampment were served with a trespass notice and, soon after, dozens of police arrived at the Harry Arthurs Commons. In a message sent by President Lenton’s administration, the university community was informed that “Toronto Police Service presence was requested by the University to ensure the safety of all concerned” and that “the individuals involved in the encampment have left peacefully.” Toronto Police and York Community Safety then proceeded to forcibly dismantle the encampment. This heavy-handed response came with no prior consultation or negotiation with students.  Several students were escorted off campus, and one person was violently arrested and charged with trespassing.

The students involved in the encampment were exercising their fundamental rights to freedom of expression and peaceful assembly, as guaranteed by the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. 

On June 6th, President Lenton’s administration sent a letter to the York community stating that “the University will be seeking to establish a dialogue with the individuals in the encampment as well as other affected parties regarding the issues that have been raised.” The York administration’s actions on June 6th demonstrate exactly the opposite.  This violent response to a peaceful student encampment makes a mockery of York’s own mission statement which declares the university “a community of faculty, students, staff, alumni and volunteers committed to academic freedom, social justice, accessible education, and collegial self-governance.” 

The York administration's unprecedented repression of students casts a shadow over the entire university and reproduces the tactics it has employed over the past 6 months, actively threatening students, staff and faculty, and refusing to respond to demands to explain the use of police violence against them. This behavior exacerbates the distrust in senior leadership already apparent when the York University Faculty Association passed a non-confidence motion in the administration by super majority earlier this year. 

Across the country, encampments have remained in place for many weeks; others have only been taken down with consent after substantive negotiated agreements were concluded between students and their university administrations. York now joins a small group of universities in Canada that immediately employed police force, with no attempt at dialogue, against its own students. 

We demand that the university commit to repairing the harm they caused to York community members exercising their right to peaceful assembly, and cease all use of militarized police and surveillance against students, staff and faculty. 

We demand that the administration immediately undertake a good faith dialogue with the students on the substance of their demands - to disclose, divest and cut ties with institutions complicit in Israel’s genocidal war on Palestine. 

Signed,

York Professors for Palestine
