CANADIAN UNION TO PROPOSE
BAN ON ISRAELI PROFESSORS
The Canadian Union of Puhlic
Employees will introduce a reso-
lution next month barring Israeli
acadennics from teaching, speaking
or doing research at Ontario uni-
versities unless they first condemn
Israel's recent actions, reported
The Glohe and Mail.
The resolution is a response to
recent Israeli troop advancenment
in Gaza.
The CUPE, the largest lahor
union in Canada, cited hombing
that damaged the Islamic Univer-
sity of Gaza. Israeli spokesper-
suns said the university served as
a development center for Hamas
weapons.
CUPE President Sid Ryan com-
pared the attack to actions of Nazi
Germany. saying the university
was deliherately targeted. Ryan
later apologized for the remark.
STUDENTS WIN TUITION SUIT
After thc California Supreme
Court declined to hear an appeal
hy the University of California in a
lawsuit hrought against it hy eight
students, UC paid ahout $33 nmil-
lion to 35,000 students, the Contra
Costa Times reported.
Eight students filed a class-
action lawsuit in 2003 after the UC
system increased tuition after pre-
viously promising not to raise cer-
tain fees. UC administrators said
they made the hike to compensate
for a state budget shortfall.
A 2006 ruling in the case said
the the decision to raise the fees
was a breach of contract hetween
the university and the students.
An appeals court affirmed the rul-
ing in 2007.
The payouts, ranging from $1
to $12000 per student, averaged
$200 to $3011.
