AUT Boycott Motion Goes Through

A disgraceful decision:


* Israel universities - statement by AUT general secretary Sally Hunt *
*
* AUT Council today decided to boycott Haifa University and the Bar-Ilan University. *

*
The executive committee will issue guidance to AUT members on these decisions.

Council delegates also referred a call to boycott the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and the executive committee will investigate the background to this and will report in due course.

Council delegates also agreed to circulate to all local associations a statement from Palestinian organisations calling for an academic boycott of Israeli institutions.
