So much for that, then. Of course, the boycott never had much of a chance of gaining wide support, and it'll be far more effective to its proponents as a martyred cause.
Email from UCU to UCU members: Dear colleague, This is single item update to inform members about today’s decision by the union’s Strategy and Finance Committee Union told academic boycott of Israel would be illegal UCU’s Strategy and Finance Committee was unanimous in today agreeing a recommendation from general secretary Sally Hunt that any academic boycott would be illegal to undertake and cannot be implemented. Following the passing of resolution 30 at Congress, extensive legal advice was sought in order to best protect the union from any legal action. At today’s meeting, the following legal advice was drawn to SFC’s attention: "It would be beyond the Union's powers and unlawful for the Union, directly or indirectly to call for or to implement a boycott by the Union and its members of any kind of Israeli universities and other academic institutions; and that the use of Union funds directly or indirectly to further such a boycott would also be unlawful."
I am really loving the theme/design of your weblog. Do you ever run into any browser compatibility problems? A handful of my blog visitors have complained about my site not working correctly in Explorer but looks great in Chrome. Do you have any solutions to help fix this problem?
I’m wondering if you have noticed how the media has changed? What once seemed like a never discussed issue has become more prevelant. It’s that time to chagnge our stance on this though.
I am curious to find out what blog system you are utilizing? I’m having some minor security problems with my latest website and I would like to find something more secure. Do you have any recommendations?
Thank you for your very good information and feedback from you. san jose car dealers
