Israel-Hamas war: Concordia University in Montreal condemns on-campus violence
By The Canadian Press on November 9, 2023.
MONTREAL – The president of Concordia University in Montreal is condemning the recent violence on campus linked to the Israel-Hamas war. Graham Carr says in a message to members of the university community that three separate acts of violence or intimidation occurred at the university Wednesday. Carr says two security guards and a student were injured in an altercation, swastikas were found on a university building, and a social media post from a student group could reasonably be interpreted as inciting violence. He says he is saddened and disgusted by these acts and that the university will work to identify those responsible. Montreal police say a 22-year-old woman was arrested at the university in connection with the altercation and released with a citation. Const. Jean-Pierre Brabant says the security guards and student were not seriously injured and that police are investigating. This report by The Canadian Press was first published Nov. 9, 2023. 8-7
