HAPPENİNG NOW!
York University students in Toronto are holding a sit-in protest at the university’s financial services office in response to the Ford government’s actions on education and cuts to OSAP.
They also demand that the university divest from companies supporting Israel
"We have received none of the financial data that has driven these decisions — not from the program cuts last year, not from this round," she said. "We continue to see these very fancy PowerPoint presentations that really don't share information."
