McGill University is proposing to review its investment in weapons manufacturers and grant amnesty to protesting students as part of a new offer to members of a pro-Palestinian encampment on its Montreal campus. A man reads a sign of demands posted outside a pro-Palestinian encampment set up on McGill University 's campus in Montreal, Tuesday, April 30, 2024.
McGill said it is also prepared to undertake a review of entities “that derive a dominant portion of their direct revenues from the production of military weapons” and eventually divest from those, Dr. Saini said in a message to the university community Tuesday., McGill owns millions of dollars in equities in weapons and defence technology manufacturers such as Lockheed Martin, Thales SA and Safran SA.
Some universities, including McGill, have asked the police and the courts to help them clear the encampments with minimal success. The schools have argued that they are disrupting life on their campuses, interfering with other students’ use of their schools and intimidating Jewish students.
