This is the best summary I could come up with:
A few days after Hamas massacred hundreds of Israelis on Oct. 7, student unions at Toronto’s York University issued a truly appalling statement.
York promptly issued its own statement, condemning the unions for using such “inflammatory” and “abhorrent” words and calling on them to “reject any acts of violence or discrimination.” Fair enough.
The unions, it said, might have “breached their responsibilities under the Regulation Regarding Student Organizations, including failure to operate in an open, accessible, democratic, non-discriminatory manner, and failure to act in accordance with the principles of diversity, equity and inclusion.” Unless the unions retracted the statement and their leaders resigned, they would face a disciplinary hearing that could result in the university withdrawing its recognition, effectively shutting them down.

Who determines whether students have been behaving in a “democratic, non-discriminatory” manner, or whether they have upheld the hallowed values of diversity, equity and inclusion?
Remember that not so long ago this same Progressive Conservative government, offended by cancel culture on campus, was telling university leaders to allow the “broadest possible latitude” for free expression.
