On Monday, August 19, the British Columbia Federation of Students (BCFS) announced its success challenging the Vancouver Island University (VIU) civil action against VIU Palestine Solidarity Encampment that was brought to the Supreme Court of British Columbia. The injunction VIU sought included a campus-wide curfew, student protest restrictions, and a prevention of structures erected on campus. After BCFS\u2019 intervention, the court significantly narrowed the interlocutory injunctions granted with the consideration of the federation\u2019s intervention arguments. A trial date has yet to be set, but injunction orders will expire after 150 days. The BCFS represents more than 170,000 BC students, aiming to protect and advocate for student rights; Camosun College students are all members of the BCFS.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
