University of York

The University of York has reportedly adopted the International Definition of Antisemitism.

Campaign Against Antisemitism has long urged widespread adoption of the Definition. The UK was the first country in the world to adopt the International Definition, something for which Campaign Against Antisemitism and Lord Pickles worked hard over many meetings with officials at Downing Street.

In recent months, other universities, including the University of Bristol and University College London also adopted the Definition, while the University of Warwick is mired in controversy for refusing to do so.

The development follows a call on universities to adopt the International Definition by the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government.
