University of Reading adopts the International Definition of Antisemitism
The University of Reading has reportedly adopted the International Definition of Antisemitism.
Late last year, a spokesperson, when asked why the University had not yet adopted the Definition, said that the University “takes an active and vocal lead in countering racism and discrimination,” and that a working group considering the findings of a race equality review conducted in May was due to report at the end of 2021.
The adoption comes as Campaign Against Antisemitism publishes polling in its latest Antisemitism Barometer showing that a staggering 92% of British Jews believe that antisemitism in universities is a problem.
Campaign Against Antisemitism monitors the adoption of the International Definition of Antisemitism by universities.
