Axed role’s remit to be absorbed into EDI department run by trustee of charity with alleged links to Hamas
University College London (UCL) is axing the post of antisemitism officer – a move critics claim will make the campus “a more hostile environment for Jews,” the JC can reveal.
Jewish student concerns about antisemitism may now involve other staff in the university’s “equality, inclusion and care” department, where the director is a trustee of a charity with alleged links to Hamas.
Formal complaints will be managed by a separate team.
UCL student and leading influencer Dov Forman warned he has “no doubt” Jews at the university will be worse off due to the decision.
