The University has adopted the International Definition of Antisemitism in full, including all of its examples.
The Definition was adopted on 8th December 2021.
The University has told Campaign Against Antisemitism: “… the definition was adopted in full, including the illustrative examples…”
This information was obtained after Campaign Against Antisemitism submitted a request under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 on 16th February 2022. On 23rd May 2022, the University responsed.
As part of its response, the University provided minutes of a meeting of its Academic Board on 8th December 2021, which show that the Definition was adopted.
When asked on 5th August 2020, Norwich University of the Arts Students’ Union confirmed it is bound by the University’s policies.
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.
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.
