We have been alerted of the complaint made to our School of Medicine in response to an email framing an item of clothing a student wore as problematic.

We reiterate our call on the University to uphold our students’ right to freedom of expression, and we condemn all attempts to characterise expressions of solidarity with Palestinians as antisemitic. We condemn antisemitism in all its forms and note that many members of the Jewish community on campus and more broadly feel that solidarity with Palestinians is not just in line with their Jewish values but a moral imperative. We urge the University to protect the freedom of expression for staff and students on campus.
