In recent weeks, campus buildings have been vandalized, Jewish faculty members targeted, and students have promoted anti-Jewish propaganda
In other news, Allied Voices for Israel (AVI) is proud of University of Ottawa student Arjun Gupta, an incoming Common Ground Ambassador, whose op-ed was published in National Post this morning.
In his column, More regulations won't solve Canada's business confidence problem, Arjun argues that there is a “full-blown crisis of confidence, driven by a leadership vacuum and a perceived detachment of elites from the reality experienced by most Canadians.” He cites the social challenges following Oct. 7th as a contributing factor to this problem.
Arjun writes that, “Universities, traditionally spaces for debate, have instead shifted away from grappling with discomfort, encouraging avoidance over dialogue. This is a business issue as much as a social one. A young generation that cannot engage with complexity and disagreement is ill-prepared to enter the workforce.”
