Blair, AAAS and 1994 group oppose UCU's Israeli boycott motion
Prime Minister Tony Blair has said he opposes the University and College Union's plans to consult its members on boycotting Israeli universities.
Responding to a question from Andrew Dismore, the Labour MP for Hendon, during Prime Minister's Question Time on 6 June, Blair said, "I very much hope that that decision is overturned because it does absolutely no good for the peace process or, indeed, for relations in that part of the world."
The 1994 Group, which represents 19 smaller research-intensive universities, has also issued a statement saying it strongly opposes the motion passed by the University and College Union to debate the Israeli academic boycott.
Steve Smith, chairman of the 1994 Group and vice-chancellor of the University of Exeter, said, "We oppose the call for an academic boycott, which is contrary to the values of freedom of expression and freedom of enquiry that every university must fundamentally uphold."
The American Association for the Advancement of Science has also urged the UCU to drop its plans for a boycott. "We join with others in condemning the motion as antithetical to the positive role of free scientific inquiry in improving the lives of all citizens of the world, and in promoting cooperation among nations, despite political differences," the AAAS said in a statement.
