Branch president Chloe Wallace responds to Islamophobic hate incidents on campus

UCU opposes all forms of racism. Some staff have recently been targeted with Islamophobic literature sent  to their Leeds University addresses.  Leeds University UCU condemns the Islamophobic incidents and we stand in solidarity with our members and all others affected.  This is not the first time such Islamophobic hate incidents have occurred on our campus in recent years and we aim to bring together all members and anti-racists to help put a stop to it.  We ask the University of Leeds to make a similar statement, including an assertion that Islamophobia is a form of racism.
