We know that 7 October is a very difficult day for many and our thoughts are with everyone who has been affected by the attacks in Israel two years ago. We also share the distress and concern that many are feeling following last week’s antisemitic attack at a synagogue in Manchester.
A fundraising event for Palestine had been organised by a group of students which was due to take place today, 7 October. Following discussions, the organisers of this proposed event have agreed to move this fundraising activity to an alternative date. We remain in discussions with the organisers regarding the appropriateness of timing and promotion.
We work in close partnership with our Guild of Students, the primary representative body for students at the University, to promote an inclusive, respectful and welcoming campus culture and environment. This includes working with hundreds of student societies, representing a wide range of causes, activities and areas of interest for our diverse, global community.
