Bell is getting extreme levels of abuse this morning, simply for raising concern about this event, and flagging that no lessons have been learned about the treatment of Professor Jason Arday. Solidarity to Bell, solidarity to Jason’s family, and solidarity to every Black academic and student forced to endure this culture of racism - both online and in our institutions.
Barely two months ago, we lost Professor Jason Arday. Thousands grieved. Institutions across higher education spoke about inclusion and belonging. Now Nathan Cofnas is being given a room at Oriel College, Oxford, to ask whether DEI is undermining higher education. 🧵

🚨 𝗘𝗠𝗘𝗥𝗚𝗘𝗡𝗖𝗬 𝗣𝗥𝗢𝗧𝗘𝗦𝗧: 𝗛𝗔𝗡𝗗𝗦 𝗢𝗙𝗙 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗪𝗘𝗦𝗧 𝗕𝗔𝗡𝗞 🇵🇸 Israel has launched a major military operation across the occupied West Bank, with Palestinian families being forcibly displaced, homes and businesses demolished, mass arrests carried out and the entire territory placed under siege and lockdown. In Al-Khalil alone, more than 2,000 Palestinians have already been forced from their homes. Israeli forces have sealed off the city and turned Palestinian homes into military positions and interrogation centres. Benjamin Netanyahu has said “We will act to destroy this place, ⁠to change it completely,” This is collective punishment. We cannot stand by. Join Friends of Al-Aqsa for an emergency protest outside Downing Street to demand an end to Israel’s assault on the West Bank. 📍 10 Downing Street, London 📅 Monday 26 October 🕕 6:00 PM

“Higher education in this country is at risk on a scale we have never experienced before.” Thank you to John McDonnell MP for backing our campaign and calling for the investment our universities desperately need. On 20 November, we come together to demand change. Education. It’s ours.
Higher education in this country is at risk on a scale we have never experienced before. The future of our young people is being put at risk and the potential of our economy is being jeopardised. It’s time to speak up and demand the investment needed in this jewel in the crown of our society. @ucu
