AUT cancels boycott of Israeli universities

The British Association of University Teachers (AUT) has decided to cancel its controversial decision to boycott Haifa and Bar-Ilan universities. The group initiated the boycott in April due to what it called the universities' participation in the occupation.

The association adopted three proposals to cancel the boycott and rejected a proposal to allow all AUT members to vote on the issue.

Dr. Sue Blackwell of Birmingham University, one of the driving forces behind the boycott, said ahead of the vote that the outcome seemed to be "fixed". She said many people who had never participated in the AUT would come with the specific aim of stopping the boycott.
