British Universities Urged to Crack Down on Anti-Semitism Ahead of Israel Apartheid Week
(Telegraph-UK) Camilla Turner - British Universities Minister Jo Johnson has written to the chief executives of the representative bodies for higher education institutions, urging them to tackle "intimidation and violence" against Jewish students ahead of Israel Apartheid Week. Johnson reminded them of their responsibility to ensure students do not suffer "discrimination, harassment or victimization." "I am sure you share my concerns about the rising reports of anti-Semitic incidents in this country and will want to make sure that your own institution is a welcoming environment for all students and that the legal position and guidelines are universally understood and acted upon at all times."
