Ex-student attacked University of Waterloo gender-studies class to 'instil fear,' sentencing hearing told | CBC News
Federal prosecutors at the sentencing hearing of a former student who went on a stabbing rampage at the University of Waterloo in southern Ontario last year told court on Tuesday that his actions were ideologically motivated.
i bet you dollars to donuts that other university administrators will copy this tactic (if they haven't already done so!) #UofW #StudentProtests #Gaza 🍉
the university administration threatening the student protest encampment with a million-plus dollar lawsuit is a shitty tactic. the next part of the playbook is to appear to relent amid public pressure but the sting in the tail is this: the quid pro quo for dropping the lawsuit is packing up the encampment and leaving the colonial piece of grass the tents are on bare #UofW #StudentProtests #Gaza 🍉
