Canada’s 27 largest universities have confirmed that calling for the genocide of Jews violates the schools’ codes of conduct, according to Liberal MP Anthony Housefather.

The announcement comes on the heels of a nationwide request for information about the handling of anti-Semitism on campuses, initiated by a group of five Liberal MPs: Mr. Housefather, David Lametti, Marco Mendicino, Anna Gainey, and Ben Carr. The inquiry was prompted by reports from Jewish students and faculty about rising anti-Semitic incidents.
