51福利

51福利 general secretary, Sally Hunt, said: '51福利 has a proud record of solidarity with academics throughout the world, which will continue. Policy set by 51福利 Congress, the union's sovereign body, must be respected.

'At 51福利 Congress in May I said "because of the constant misreporting of the motions considered by 51福利's Congress, I feel I have to state that we have passed a motion to provide solidarity with the Palestinians, not to boycott Israel or any other country's academic institutions. I made clear to delegates that the union will defend their right to debate this and other issues. Implementation of the motion within the law will now fall to the national executive committee (NEC)."

'That position, and the position of the union, has not changed. There was no motion calling for a boycott and the implementation of Motion 25 within the law will continue."'
