The University has not adopted the International Definition of Antisemitism.
The University has told Campaign Against Antisemitism: “While SOAS University of London has not adopted the IHRA definition, we stand firmly against anti-Semitism, as we do against all forms of discrimination. Our SOAS Charter on Racism, Antisemitism and All Forms of Cultural, Ethnic and Religious Chauvinism makes a clear, demonstrable commitment to every member of staff and every student that we will not tolerate any form of racism or religious chauvinism, and that we will maintain an inclusive space for every member of our community.”
This information was obtained after Campaign Against Antisemitism submitted a request under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 on 9th June 2023. On 7th July 2023, the University responded.
When asked on 6th August 2020, SOAS Students’ Union failed to confirm whether it has adopted the International Definition of Antisemitism.
