Prof, Harry Lesser, University of Manchester, Corrects Jewish Chronicle Report on UCU meeting

The article by Josephs in the Jewish Chronicle is not entirely accurate. This UCU meeting is being attended by anti-boycott as well as pro-boycott people, and its remit is developing links with both Israel and Palestine. The pro-boycotters may be in a sufficient majority to win out but this remains to be seen.
