Sheffield uni cancels Gaza teach-in for being ‘controversial’ – SKWAWKBOX

The University of Sheffield has cancelled a planned – and previously approved – ‘teach-in’ by the university’s lecturers and researchers on the subject of the Gaza genocide, sponsored by the UCU union, on the grounds that it was ‘linked to a controversial event/topic’ and therefore posed a security risk. One element of the teach-in was to cover the university’s complicity through its investments and partnerships.
Ce sera le mot d’ordre de la rentrée universitaire à n’en pas douter : on n’interdit pas mais on ne veut pas que des « sujets controversés » soient évoqués. Chez nous, on appelle ça "rappelle l’importance de la neutralité, de la laïcité et de la sécurité".
