Abhorrent graffiti discovered on University’s buildings
University of East Anglia Students’ Union failed to represent and show solidarity with their Jewish members by adopting the Jerusalem Declaration on Antisemitism, which is a wrecking document intended to undermine the globally-recognised 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.
