Prime Minister demands urgent action at “unacceptable rise of antisemitism” on university campuses
from Religion Media Centre:
The Prime Minister is calling in university vice-chancellors to discuss the “unacceptable” rise in antisemitism at UK universities and to prevent harassment of Jewish students.
The meeting, expected today, follows the setting up of camps in several universities where students are protesting at the authorities’ alleged complicity in the war in Gaza, in action similar to protests in the USA.
The Times reports that a spokesman for the Prime Minister said he expected university leaders to take “robust action” and ministers are providing guidance on how universities should deal with protests and prevent outside groups from infiltrating campuses.
The report says that the university regulator is due to announce that universities will be required, under their conditions of registration, to have robust policies in place to prevent the “harassment” of students on campus.
