Policies meant to promote diversity and inclusion in institutions like universities, but which fail to counter anti-Semitism, should be reformed, MPs and stakeholders said before a House of Commons committee.
“Many universities have diversity, equity, and inclusive policies that make no reference whatsoever to anti-Semitism, which is shocking,” said Liberal MP Marco Mendicino during a justice committee meeting on May 23. He expressed a concern that “Jewish hatred is running rampant in Canada, in government, in business, in labour, in universities, in schools, in places of worship, in our neighbourhoods, everywhere.”
