University of Sydney management has ordered students at a long-running pro-Palestine encampment to leave the site after the failure of a 'peaceful resolution'.
The University of Sydney has ordered students protesting Israel's war in Gaza to leave a controversial encampment which has been on the campus since April. A university spokesperson said on Friday it had told the encampment's leadership "we require them to vacate the encampment to allow other students to use the space".
The university said it had "repeatedly stated since the encampment began that we support the right to peaceful protest, provided it does not cause significant disruption to core university operations". "We consider preparations for semester two to be core university operations and any activity that impedes our ability to prepare for them in the usual fashion constitutes a significant and unacceptable disruption," they said.
