‘Should the University reject the IHRA definition of antisemitism?’
The Board of Trustees have called a referendum on whether the University should reject the IHRA definition of antisemitism. This is the Students’ Unions second referendum in two years; the last one took place in November 2019 and was held on whether the Union should support the UCU strikes.
A referendum is a ballot in which all student members of the Union are entitled to cast a vote in. In order for this resolution to pass by referendum at least 500 student members must cast a vote and a simple majority of the votes cast are in favour of the resolution. In short, either yes or no will win to confirm the Union’s position on the IHRA definition of antisemitism.
