New report details exposes extensive links between the arms trade and the University of Sheffield
A DAMNING report has accused the University of Sheffield of carrying out research for arms manufacturers including those producing weapons being used against the people of Gaza.
The 66-page report, entitled Genocide and Apartheid Complicity, was prepared by academics at the university and released by Sheffield Campus Coalition for Palestine (SCCP).
It claims the university has received more cash from arms manufacturers than any other UK university — £72 million from 2012 to 2022 — and that it has “close ties” with at least 21 arms companies.
