The following by Keith Hammond from the excellent site Palestine Think Tank.
The UK’s University and College Union is moving into its May 28th 2008 Congress. Everyone in British Universities and Colleges is watching the proceedings carefully as everyone listens for news of the academic boycott. It is absolutely clear that the UCU membership is keen on a boycott of Israeli institutions who support or remain silent on the occupation of Palestine and yet claim ‘humane’ credentials in the international world of academia. This situation is upsetting many academics. What will be really interesting about this Congress is the way Anti-Zionist feeling amongst the rank and file translates to Congress decisions when the big stick of the law is being waived by the pro-Israeli group within the union that is threatening such a move. (I have seen documents of their legal threats…. Pages and pages of them. editor’s note).
