The reason I bring this up is that U of T has over 60,000 students. Let's say there are 300 people at those encampments. The university is now negotiating with less than half a per cent of potential students—or not even students—who are, frankly, holding the university hostage in its decisions on how it goes about its business.
What do you say to those watching, the faculty, the alumni and the parents who are deciding where their kids might want to go to school? What do you say to those people who see 300 people holding the university to account for a student body of 60,000?
