The Universite du Quebec a Montreal lifted an injunction granted in court last April amidst the student protests.
The injunction ensured that no one could prevent access to campus buildings, threaten students and staff or vandalize UQAM property.
According to the Montreal Gazette, UQAM and the student associations came to a mutual agreement to withdraw the injunction on July 6th.
The injunction was put into place soon after Rector Robert Proulx called the police in order to stop masked protesters from blocking student access to UQAM’s downtown campus.
