The University has not adopted the International Definition of Antisemitism.
The University has told Campaign Against Antisemitism: “A Race and Faith commission was set up following discussions at the Academic Board and Board of Governors on the subject of the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) working definition of antisemitism. The Commission recommended that the University should not adopt the definition…”
This information was obtained after Campaign Against Antisemitism submitted a request under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 on 12th June 2023. On 20th June 2023, the University responded.
When asked on 8th August 2020, Brighton Students’ Union failed to confirm whether it has adopted the International Definition of Antisemitism.

The incidence of antisemitism on a university campus and how the university and its students’ union address antisemitism are matters of serious concern. At the same time, they do not represent the totality of Jewish life on any campus. For further information about Jewish life on campus, please contact the local Jewish Society or Jewish chaplain.
No student should have to endure antisemitism. Campaign Against Antisemitism provides specialist help to students who have experienced antisemitism, including free legal representation. For assistance with antisemitism on campus, please contact us.
