Students at Montreal’s McGill University fail to ratify a pro-Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions motion against Israel.
The controversial motion, which passed in the university’s student society on February 22 by a vote of 512 to 357, and was seen as a blow by pro-Israel students, could not be ratified after being rejected by an online vote of 2,819 – or 57 percent of voting undergraduate students – to 2,119, or about 43 percent. About 440 students abstain.
