NUS appoints discrimination specialist to probe antisemitism
Rebecca Tuck QC has been asked by the union to look at recent and historical allegations as well as its broader culture.
A barrister specialising in employment and discrimination law has been appointed to lead an independent investigation into allegations of antisemitism within the National Union of Students (NUS).
Rebecca Tuck QC has been asked by the union to look at recent and historical allegations as well as its broader culture.
The NUS said: “The independent, QC-led investigation will centre the voices of the students we are here to serve and will look holistically at the experience of Jewish students within NUS.”
The statement from the board added: “The investigation will look at recent allegations as well as historic matters and broader culture.
“We are rightly opening our doors to scrutiny and are prepared to be accountable, to listen, and to take any and all restorative actions that are needed.”
The Union of Jewish Students said: “We are pleased to see NUS treating the early stages of these investigations with due sensitivity and diligence.”
