Lawyers representing both Vancouver Island University and the protesters that formed an encampment on the university’s campus met in British Columbia’s Supreme Court earlier this week. According to Burnaby Now, VIU asserts that it has suffered $870K in costs, which are expected to lead to layoffs and reduced services at VIU. The university additionally asserted that the encampment has prevented other members of VIU from using campus space. CBC reports that the camp leaders’ claims include that VIU is obscuring an attempt to restrict their freedoms. The camp is reportedly the last remaining pro-Palestinian encampment in British Columbia.
