THE University and College Union (UCU) will support lecturers refusing to undertake contracted duties which risk complicity in Israeli war crimes.

The proposal was among a raft of motions in support of Palestine carried at the union’s annual conference in Bournemouth this week.

UCU will also endorse the grassroots network University & College Workers for Palestine, co-ordinate walkouts against Israel’s genocide and oppose moves by the Tory government to legally restrict shows of solidarity with Palestine, such as legislation banning Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions campaigns.
