These demonstrations have not clashed with police, but have been criticised by local antisemitism campaigners.<\/p>\n<p><em>KEY QUOTE<\/em><br \/>\n&#8220;Universities should be places of rigorous debate but also bastions of tolerance and respect for every member of their community,&#8221; Sunak said in a statement ahead of the meeting. &#8220;A vocal minority on our campuses are disrupting the lives and studies of their fellow students and, in some cases, propagating outright harassment and antisemitic abuse. That has to stop.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><em>WHAT\u2019S NEXT<\/em><br \/>\nSunak, alongside his education minister and communities minister, will meet vice chancellors from some of the country\u2019s leading universities, stressing the need for a zero tolerance approach to antisemitic abuse on all campuses. Representatives from the Union of Jewish Students, which has said the encampments create a toxic environment on campuses, will also attend the meeting.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/uk\/uk-pm-sunak-call-university-bosses-protect-jewish-students-2024-05-08\/\">Reuters<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/csr-news-en\/uk-pm-sunak-to-call-on-university-bosses-to-protect-jewish-students\/\">UK PM Sunak to call on university bosses to protect Jewish students<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[555,14465,1882,4335,579,3852],"class_list":["post-130294","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-csr-news-en","tag-jewish-tudents","tag-protect","tag-sunak","tag-uk","tag-university"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/130294","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=130294"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/130294\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=130294"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=130294"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=130294"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
