Academics oppose use of International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance definition adopted by university
University College London’s governing body will reconsider its definition of antisemitism after an internal academic board rejected the use of the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance’s definition, which the university had adopted.
The revolt by senior academics at the London university is the latest incident in an emerging tussle with the government and the education secretary, Gavin Williamson, who last year threatened sanctions against universities that failed to adopt the IHRA definition.
