The University of Victoria says pro-Palestinian protesters are dismantling an encampment after almost three months at the campus.
The school issued a trespass notice over the weekend, saying administrators saw “no further prospect for a successful dialogue” with the protesters.
The university said in an email Monday that the encampment set up on May 1 was being taken apart by the protesters.
Protesters had said on social media that the school gave them a deadline of Monday morning to vacate, but they were planning a “trespass breakfast” at that time without detailing the next steps.
The protest group has not responded to requests for comment.
Another pro-Palestinian encampment was voluntarily vacated at the University of British Columbia on July 7, while Vancouver Island University in Nanaimo launched legal action against protesters there after issuing a trespass notice on July 11.
The B.C. camps have been among a number of such protest sites at universities in Canada and the United States.
The protesters against the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza have been demanding that universities cut financial and academic ties with Israeli firms and institutions, among other things.
