The Guardian: Oxford academics voice hostility on boycott
Oxford University academics have voted overwhelmingly to call a ballot on whether to boycott Israeli universities and expressed opposition to the general value of boycotts.
The University and College Union sparked international controversy last month when members voted to debate the possibility of boycotting Israeli academics at their annual conference.
The majority of Oxford’s union members – 96% – wanted to call a ballot on the contentious issue, piling more pressure on the union to have one. A similar number – 94.8% – supported the view that Oxford is opposed to academic boycotts per se.
