Survey on Canadian Universities' Responses to Pro-Palestinian Organizing

What is this survey for:

This survey collects information about how Canadian universities and colleges have responded to pro-Palestinian organizing and advocacy. The information will help document institutional policies, disciplinary processes, administrative measures, and legal responses across post-secondary institutions in Canada.

The survey is intended to support research into how institutions have regulated or responded to campus organizing on Palestine, both before and after October 7. Information collected may be analyzed in aggregate and may also contribute to reports, policy analysis, educational materials, or other research publications. Where appropriate, researchers may contact participants for clarification or additional information if consent is provided.
Who can fill this survey:

This survey may be completed by anyone with direct knowledge of their institution's response to pro-Palestinian organizing, including but not limited to:
  • Students (undergraduate or graduate)
  • Student organizers or leaders of student organizations
  • Faculty members
  • Academic or non-academic staff
  • Legal representatives, advocates, or others who have been involved in or have firsthand knowledge of disciplinary, administrative, or legal processes
Respondents are encouraged to provide information based on their own experience or firsthand knowledge and, where possible, to identify or attach supporting documentation.
