As universities are autonomous bodies, the Government does not hold such information centrally.

However, higher education institutions have a duty to ensure freedom of speech and academic freedom, but they must carry out their functions in full recognition of their obligations under their Public Sector Equality Duty. I expect them to discharge those responsibilities fully and to have robust policies and procedures in place to ensure students and staff are safeguarded and that they act within the law. I also expect them to act swiftly to address any instances of hate crime, including antisemitism. Any action or campaign against individuals, groups or a country that can be construed as anti-Semitic is unacceptable.
