Paransky wrote an article last year defending McGill as welcoming to Jewish students after an American magazine ranked the school fourth on a list of the worst universities for Jewish students. The move, he said, was prompted by the “irresponsible interference” of the McGill administration, which last week urged the SSMU executive to seek Sadikov’s resignation. “McGill has thousands of Jewish students. CIJA and McGill share the hope that it continues to be a very inviting place for Jewish students,” Poupko said. “Right now, unfortunately, there are Jewish students who are not feeling welcome.”ghamilton@postmedia.comTwitter.com/grayhamilton
