Comment: Campuses must be safe for us all

For too long, universities have irresponsibly allowed the preaching of the politics of hate under the guise of free speech.

By lobbying our MPs on an issue that we believe will gain cross-party consensus, we aim to provide universities with a clear framework that can be adopted by student unions.

These issues are urgent. Campus must be a safe environment for all students. It is unacceptable that hostile antisemitic sentiment has been allowed to spread.

It is shameful that Jewish students are being threatened by extremism. It is time our educational institutions took responsibility.
