Controversy On Anti-Semitism
Since 2007, the UCU has been involved in controversy over boycotting Israeli academia and claims that an underlying institutional antisemitism has led to the resignations of some Jewish members.
In July 2011, the UCU was notified of a Jewish member's intention to sue before the Employment Tribunal for violation of the Equality Act 2010. This case was filed under the Equality Act with the Employment Tribunal in September 2011 and is expected to be heard in summer of 2012.

Famous quotes containing the word controversy:
“And therefore, as when there is a controversy in an account, the parties must by their own accord, set up for right Reason, the Reason of some Arbitrator, or Judge, to whose sentence, they will both stand, or their controversy must either come to blows, or be undecided, for want of a right Reason constituted by Nature; so is it also in all debates of what kind soever.”
—Thomas Hobbes (1579–1688)
