CSU Student Life Coordinator Eduardo Malorni confirmed this as well.
This follows the CSUâs letter to the Jewish community apologizing for not doing enough to fight the presence of anti-Semitism on campus, including graffiti.
Bânai Brith noted that the apology âmade no reference to the CSUâs adoption of BDS in 2014, which has fueled hostility toward Jewish students at Concordia since that time.
âBânai Brith then reached out to CSU representatives to commend their bold apology and urge them to fully implement it by abandoning BDS,â the Bânai Brith statement says. âThe CSU replied that it had done so, and removed all mention of the BDS movement from its website.â

Once again, Canadian Jews have the dubious distinction of being the most targeted group for hate crimes. In a report released on March 29, Statistics Canada revealed that Jewish Canadians were the single biggest victims of religiously motivated hate crimes across the country in 2019.
In the wake of this report’s release, on April 6, the Concordia Student Union (CSU), the official representative of all students at Concordia University, released an unprecedented apology to the Jewish community.

The Concordia Student Union apologized to the Jewish community last week for what it describes as its indifference to concerns about anti-Semitism on campus.
The CSU itself has been criticized extensively over the years, including for co-hosting a âPassover Against Apartheid event in 2017 and adopting the anti-Israel Boycott Divestment Sanction (BDS) campaign. More than anything else, this is embarrassing for us, the letter on their Facebook page says. It is embarrassing for us because even trying to verbalize our mistakes only serves to highlight how ridiculous they are. An ongoing theme of the CSU is that we try our best to support and give a voice to those who are being discriminated against, but this is something we have neglected to do for the Jewish community. Today, we strive to acknowledge our mistakes and begin the process of correcting ourselves.
