Board of Deputies of British Jews President Marie van der Zyl has reacted to the decision of Bristol University to terminate the employment of Professor David Miller.
Marie said: “The University of Bristol has made the correct – albeit long overdue – decision in announcing the termination of David Miller’s employment. This announcement sends a clear message to any academics who use their positions at respectable institutions in order to spread conspiracy theories and make Jewish students feel unsafe. Free speech should not include hate speech; we commend the efforts of UJS and Bristol JSoc in standing up for Jewish students.”
