Hamhuis Hip Check Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 http://globalnews.ca/news/3218120/b-c-school-reverses-policy-on-israeli-students/?utm_source=Article&utm_medium=Outbrain&utm_campaign=2015 GABRIOLA ISLAND, B.C. – A private school that teaches log home and wood fame construction has apologized to a man whose application was rejected because he is from Israel. B’nai Brith Canada says the Israeli engineering student and amateur carpenter wanted to take a course at the Island School of Building Arts on Gabriola Island, east of Nanaimo in British Columbia. The group says the student was told the institution does not accept applications from Israel because of conflict and “illegal settlement activity” in the region. The school says in a statement that after “significant thought and listening to all interested parties,” a decision was made to lift a restriction on accepting students from Israel. It says an apology has been made and the policy was a mistake. B’nail Brith says the student has indicated he is no longer interested in taking the course after the school lifted its ban.

Sounds as though it's all been resolved and is a non-story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Ah, the title was misleading, I thought it meant they wouldn't allow him to be an Israeli. But that would be "from being an" - have another beer Heretic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gurn Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Seems rather punitive, deny a person access, for what his government is doing. Not likely that this guy makes decisions for Israel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The school still rejected the student on the basis of their country of origin. Regardless of them changing their policy after the fact or not it is still blatant discrimination. There should be repercussions for even having such a ban in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The situation has been resolved. The 'policy' has been rescinded. There is no background or context as to who and how the rejection of Israeli students was implemented in the first place. It's over and it's done. Next...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
