We are a group of UBC students from diverse faculties, backgrounds, and perspectives who share one core belief:
Student government should serve students.
We believe the AMS works best when it focuses on:
- Strengthening campus life
- Supporting academic opportunities
- Representing the broad diversity of students at UBC
This referendum asks the AMS to take an institutional position on a complex international issue by severing formal academic ties with Israeli universities.
We believe that approach would narrow academic collaboration and shift student government away from its core mandate: serving students here on campus.
Our position is simple:
Students First. Keep the Focus Here.
We are committed to protecting academic opportunities, fostering an inclusive campus environment, and ensuring student leadership stays focused on practical student priorities.
