Major win at @UofT! Yesterday #UofT accepted all the recommendations of an internal antisemitism report, one of which included rejecting the dangerous IHRA definition, and instead embracing academic freedom on Israel-Palestine. Read more here: utoronto.ca/news/u-t-accep… #NoIHRA 
This win would not have been possible without the work of IJV members, Palestinian students & faculty, @FacultyJewish and @CAUT_ACPPU who recently voted UNANIMOUSLY to reject the dangerously-flawed #IHRA definition. Read the university's final report here: people.utoronto.ca/inclusion/anti…
The timing of all of this is significant as @JustinTrudeau recently renewed @IrwinCotler's role as Canada's Antisemitism Envoy, with a mandate to expand the use of IHRA in academia. This #UofT decision should stop Cotler in his tracks.
