This is the best summary I could come up with:
The University of Toronto (UofT) has warned pro-Palestinian activists that they have 24 hours to accept a proposal to end a three-week protest camp on the schools’ downtown campus – or risk being treated as trespassers and potentially face police action.
In a statement Meric Gertler, the university president, cited harassment, discrimination and lack of inclusion as reasons the encampment needs to be removed.
After meeting protesters on Thursday afternoon, the UofT gave them 24 hours to respond or face repercussions, although it was unclear at what time the deadline would fall.
Faculty and students expressed disappointment with Columbia University’s administration welcoming police on to campus and allowing them to make arrests.
In its statement, UofT offered to set up a working group focusing on the issue of divestment with an expedited approach to ensure a timely report.
The UofT Occupy for Palestine group did not explicitly respond to the deadline, instead tweeting that Thursday marked the fourth week of their encampment.
