A series of Palestinian Solidarity Encampments have been set up at university campuses across North America and Europe, including many in Canada. Some 150 students set up more than 50 tents at the University of Toronto’s King’s College Circle. UofT Occupy for Palestine (O4P), had three demands outlined in an online petition:
1. Divest the university’s endowment, pension fund, and other financial holdings from all companies that provide Israel with military goods or services;
2. Terminate all partnerships with Israeli academic institutions that operate in the Occupied Palestinian Territories, or sustain the apartheid policies, occupation and illegal settlement of these territories;
3. Publicly disclose all investments (including names of holdings and portfolio shares) from endowments, the pension fund, short-term working capital assets, and other financial holdings of the university.
