Chloe Field, vice president of the U.K.’s National Union of Students sent a letter to Union of Jewish Students leaders last week praising them for fighting antisemitism and assuring them “you have been heard.”
The Feb. 3 letter follows the January release of an independent investigator’s report, which found that “at least for the last decade, Jewish students have not felt welcome or included in NUS spaces or elected roles.”
“Your members deserve to be recognized for the important work they do, but they also deserve an apology,” wrote Chloe Field, NUS vice president of higher education and board chair. “It should never again be left to Jewish students alone to tackle antisemitism in the student movement.”
Union of Jewish Students wrote on Twitter: Ahead of conference, we received this letter from NUS VP Chloe Field which we are sharing with Jewish students.
It contains an unreserved apology for the treatment of Jewish students.
We will continue to work with NUS to ensure the Tuck report’s recommendations are actualized.
