Anti-semitism row in Essex University student society vote
Anti-semitism row in Essex University student society vote
21/02/2019 More than 200 students have voted against forming a Jewish society at a university students union, raising fears of anti-semitism. The University of Essex union has other religious societies but a vote for the new Jewish society raised objections. More than 600 people voted on the ratification of the society in total - with about 64% in favour. The university is also investigating claims a lecturer posted anti-semitic material online opposing the society. The national Union of Jewish Students (UJS) said it was "shocking" students had voted against the idea of the new society. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-essex-47319571 |
