Key Facts

  • Edward Isaacs, president of the Union of Jewish Students (UJS), told the BBC the government gave “reassurances” to Jewish students during the meeting and offered to help universities in efforts to tackle antisemitism.
  • "We continue to work with the police and our security, to ensure the safety and security of our campus," it said in a statement.
  • Asked whether universities should clear encampments, Dame Sally said vice-chancellors would monitor who was involved in the protests – noting that not everybody was a student - and that “we shouldn't automatically presume that universities will straight away say ‘you have to move off our land’”.
  • But she added: “Where there is clear evidence that encampments are interfering with good university business and with the rights of students and staff to go about their business – to take exams, to do their degree shows, to graduate - then universities may need to take action.”
