Group wants tighter rules on Sask. campus activism, criticism of Israel

B’nai Brith is registered to lobby Saskatchewan’s government on policies it says are necessary to protect Jewish students and prevent antisemitism in universities and schools.

A provincial lobbying registration posted on Aug. 17 shows B’nai Brith is seeking meetings with officials from the education, justice, finance, community safety and other ministries to discuss a number of issues, including reviewing provincial grant programs and recipients, establishing a prosecution unit for hate crimes and implementing two policies it has developed for schools and post-secondary campuses.
