Montreal university sides with Jewish student

The McGill University in Montreal on Monday sided with Jewish student Jordyn Wright, after the Student Society of McGill University (SSMU) Legislative Council voted to remove her from the SSMU Board of Directors simply because she was planning on participating on a Hillel Montreal trip to Israel.

McGill’s Deputy Provost (Student Life and Learning), Fabrice Labeau, said in an email sent to McGill students that the SSMU's decision fostered “a culture of ostracization” and that it is “contrary to the university's values of inclusion, diversity and respect.”
