Soas University of London has refunded a student £15,000 in fees after he said he was forced to abandon his studies because of a âtoxic antisemitic environmentâ.
The university may also order a fresh independent investigation into complaints made by the student over antisemitic behaviour on campus.
The move comes amid pressure on universities to adopt the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) definition of antisemitism. Gavin Williamson, the education secretary, wrote to all vice-chancellors in October, criticising a âlack of willingness by too many universities to confront [antisemitism]â.
Last year, the government said universities must do more to stamp out antisemitism on campus after Jewish societies reported having to pay for security at speaker events.
