BC Supreme Court dismisses challenge to SFU faculty association’s Gaza resolutions

The Supreme Court of British Columbia has dismissed a challenge brought on by members of the Faculty Association of Simon Fraser University, which opposed the faculty association’s recent resolutions condemning Israel’s actions in the Gaza region. The opposing members claimed that the resolutions were improper because the association’s actions should be constrained to the local area surrounding the campus. The ruling cited several past resolutions relating to international political events that had gone unchallenged, as well as the lack of any such geographical limitations in the association’s stated purposes.
