Together Against Racism

University Statement October 2025

Today marks the second anniversary of the terrible events of 7 October 2023, which resulted in the deaths of over 1,200 Israelis and the seizing of over 250 hostages. Those events and the subsequent conflict have had devastating consequences for innocent people in Gaza, Israel and across the Middle East.

The University is here to support all those who may be affected by the conflict in different ways; we aim to uphold the right to freedom of expression while making sure that all members of our community feel safe on campus.

Hate has no place in our University. We abhor the glorification of violence and any celebration of violent acts, and will take appropriate action in relation to any individual who breaches our code of conduct. We appeal to all students and colleagues to uphold the University’s values of tolerance and respect for others.
