USYD ENCAMPMENT CELEBRATES HISTORIC WIN OVER UNIVERSITY – ISRAEL RELATIONS
June 26, 2024The Sydney University Muslim Students Association (SUMSA) have negotiated a HISTORIC DEAL with the University of Sydney Administration!
The group hosted a press conference on “The Future of the Encampment” in front of the Quadrangle lawns, where the Gaza solidarity encampment previously stood.
President of SUMSA, Abdullah, opened with a reflection: “55 days ago we came to the University with a resolve to set up camp to represent Muslim support for the Palestinian cause”.
He claimed that the dealings with University Management were successful, explaining how the University is beholden to publicly disclose its ties to Israel, take steps to divest, and support academics in Palestine with expanded funding. Further, he announced that SUMSA is working with the University on an inaugural “Experience Palestine” program.
He explained that representatives from SUMSA will meet with Management once a month to discuss their demands and continue lobbying efforts, maintaining that they will hold Management to account. Regardless, he expressed a belief that Management would engage with them in good faith to fight for Palestinian liberation.
This press conference officially heralded the end of SUMSA’s section of the encampment.
Well done!! These institutions WILL BUCKLE when forced!
We must continue to pressure until ALL INSTITUTIONS CUT TIES WITH ISRAEL!
