British University and College Union decides not to boycott Israel
The British University and College Union (UCU) has decided not to launch an academic boycott against Israel. Organization officials explained that such a boycott was illegal and could not be implemented.
In a statement, the UCU said that "legal advice made it clear that making a call to boycott Israeli institutions would run a serious risk of infringing discrimination legislation." (Hagit Klaiman, London)
