"Grade-Free Campus": The Campaign Stirring the Prestigious University

A pro-Palestinian organization at the University of Glasgow is calling on student clubs to define Zionism as racism and prevent supporters of Israel from joining. The university clarified that this is a discriminatory move that violates equality laws.

A pro-Palestinian organization at the University of Glasgow, 'Justice for Palestine', has launched a campaign urging student clubs to define Zionism as racism in their bylaws, as part of a 'Grade-Free Campus' initiative. Activists distributed pre-written leaflets at the start-of-year fair, calling for the addition of a clause banning 'racism, Zionism, sexism, homophobia, and discrimination'. The university stated it would not allow such a step, which constitutes a violation of equality laws, and that it advocates for freedom of thought and expression. The student organization has not yet responded.
