In one example, a Jewish student at the University of Warwick was subjected to a disciplinary complaint by academic staff after he reported comments made by a lecturer. The complaint against the student was later dropped with no action taken.

We recorded 15 cases in which an organisation or speaker associated with antisemitic views in the past was invited to speak on campus.
