Both the UBCO graduation organizers and the People’s University for Gaza UBCO have made statements ahead of the June 6 and 7, convocation
UBC Okanagan graduation organizers and a Pro-Palestinian encampment on the campus are both preparing for a weekend of convocations.
The group has also invited graduating students, their families and friends to stop by the encampment to celebrate and “Remember the students in Palestine.” UBC has responded to the claims by saying that the university’s “Endowment Fund does not directly own any stocks in the companies identified by the movement.”
In a statement emailed to graduating students on June 4, UBCO stated graduation organizers are aware of the protesters on Kelowna’s campus and are “actively monitoring the situation and prioritizing the safety of all our community members, graduates and visitors to campus.”
