Adele Kent’s 142 -page report was commissioned by the university after the administration asked city police remove the camp.

She says the university's decision to call police was a “reasonable” option, but other paths might have been pursued.

She found “no evidence” organizers of the encampment “encouraged anti-Semitism,” but acknowledged some Jewish students were uncomfortable with its presence.

Report: University of Calgary should have applied for injunction to remove camp to avoid harm.

Alberta premier's comments about the university were “not a determining factor’s approach,” Kent says.

She says the university should have invited representatives to see if a dialogue could begin.

Kent recommends compensating protesters for the $ 20,000 in lost and destroyed property.
