Students at the Canadian University of Brock in Ontario raising money for a charitable program abroad have been harassed by protestors over the program's connection with the Christian Life Movement.
The protestors, who call themselves “Occupy Brock,” appear to be linked to a campaign by Ana Isla – an associate professor in Women’s Studies at the school – who has been working to halt the university's Solidarity Experiences Abroad (SEA) program.
Isla has said she opposes the program because it was created through the work of Catholic campus minister and member of the Christian Life Movement Brother Raoul Masseur.
Since 2006, Isla has been pressuring the University of Brock to drop programs linked with religious organizations, which she charges are homophobic and opposed to “women's rights.”
