Default Anti-semitism row in Essex University student society vote

Anti-semitism row in Essex University student society vote

21/02/2019

More than 200 students have voted against forming a Jewish society at a university students union, raising fears of anti-semitism.

The University of Essex union has other religious societies but a vote for the new Jewish society raised objections.

More than 600 people voted on the ratification of the society in total - with about 64% in favour.

The university is also investigating claims a lecturer posted anti-semitic material online opposing the society.

The national Union of Jewish Students (UJS) said it was "shocking" students had voted against the idea of the new society.
