TORONTO — The University of Toronto's request for a court order to clear a pro-Palestinian encampment on its downtown campus is expected to be heard in three weeks.
The university wants to end the encampment that was set up on May 2 and is asking the courts to authorize police action to remove protesters who refuse orders to leave. In a court document filed Wednesday, the judge said there is an urgency to the university's injunction request because the encampment on a grassy area known as King's College Circle is adjacent to Convocation Hall, where graduation ceremonies are held.
Since filing its motion, U of T has submitted affidavits to the court from its assistant director of campus safety, students, faculty members"and the wider community about their experiences with the encampment."
