At the Students’ Society of McGill University (SSMU) Winter 2016 General Assembly (GA) on February 22, 2016, the motion to support BDS was passed, with 512 in favour, 387 opposed, and 14 abstentions. However, in online ratification, the motion was nullified with 2819 (57%) voting no, 2119 (43%) voting yes, and 348 (6.6%) abstentions.
