Antisemitism in Universities

London Business School

International Definition of Antisemitism

University

The Business School has adopted the International Definition of Antisemitism in full, including all of its examples.

The Definition was adopted on an unknown date in 2021 by way of incorporation in the Business School’s Belong and Thrive Policy.

The Business School has told Campaign Against Antisemitism that: “…our Belong and Thrive Policy… will be launched in either December 2021 or January 2022.”.

This information was obtained after Campaign Against Antisemitism submitted a request under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 on 9th July 2020. On 7th August 2020, the Business School responded. On 23rd November 2021, the Business School updated its response.

Students’ Union

When asked on 3rd August 2020, London Business School’s Student Association failed to confirm whether it has adopted the International Definition of Antisemitism.

Incidents

No incidents have been reported to us, however we recognise that antisemitism is chronically underreported and it is possible that there are incidents that have not been reported. To report an incident, please contact us.

Jewish life on campus

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.
