More than 250 students marched from the University Union lawn to the clocktower building yesterday in support of the Muslim University Students’ Association (MUSA) and its demands that the university "recognise Palestine as an independent and sovereign state"; "disclose and divest all partnerships with the Israel government"; and "denounce anti-Semitism, Islamophobia and all forms of discrimination".
