Today the Union of Jewish Students has published Time for Change, a landmark report into campus antisemitism.

Our report, based on new polling and Jewish students’ testimonies, diagnoses the problems on campus and makes urgent recommendations for change.

At a Westminster Hall debate on Campus Antisemitism this week, it was our Time for Change report that MPs reached for in demanding the government take further and faster action to protect the safety of Jewish students.

[Union of Jewish Students @UJS_UK]

A brilliant set of sessions followed, from a panel of Jewish student leaders to the launch of our new Best Practice Guidance for institutions.

We look forward to working closely with universities to improve the support available for Jewish students nationwide.

[Union of Jewish Students @UJS_UK]

Last week, UJS hosted our inaugural Vice Chancellors Conference. We brought together over 80 university leaders to discuss further action to combat campus antisemitism.

Education Secretary @bphillipsonMP opened, calling on leaders to “drive out” antisemitism from campus. ⬇️

[Board of Deputies of British Jews @BoardofDeputies]

We welcome the publication of UJS's Best Practice Guidance for institutions to support and safeguard Jewish student life. We call on institutions to study and implement the guidance, and will continue to back @UJS_UK in promoting this guidance both with institutions and government.

[Union of Jewish Students @UJS_UK]

The Best Practice Guidance offers universities and students’ unions a framework of practical recommendations to support Jewish student life and to tackle antisemitism.

It brings together examples of best practice from institutions around the country.

Even by @UJS_UK’s standard of producing outstanding leaders, @UJS_PRES stands out - holding a mirror up to leaders across society who need to show the same courage and moral clarity in the face of antisemitic hatred and prejudice.

[Ridge & Frost @RidgeandFrost]

'Where is the outrage? Where has anti-racist civil society gone?'

President of the Union of Jewish Students, Louis Danker, talks to @WilfredFrost and warns of the 'stunning silence' on antisemitism. ⬇️

[Deborah E. Lipstadt @deborahlipstadt]

@UJS_PRES delivers an excellent oration & call to action. Pious words & sincere regrets are useless. Call out those responsible. Ensure there are consequences. Support those who acknowledge there is a problem. It may start with the Jews but it will not end there.
