Anti-Semitism 'is turning some of Britain's top universities into no-go zones' | Daily Mail Online
"Anti-Semitism is turning some of Britain's top universities into no-go zones for Jewish students, according to a top peer."
'As a result, the peer said Jewish students are gradually getting a feeling universities such as Manchester, Exeter, SOAS and Southampton are places they should avoid, which could be perceived as anti-Semitic. '
'Manchester University and SOAS could not be contacted. '
'Baroness Ruth Deech, who once held the highest office for dealing with student complaints, said the situation stems from institutions failing to curb a perceived hatred of Jews because vice chancellors are afraid of offending potential investors from the Gulf. ', "In an interview with the Daily Telegraph, she said hostility towards Israel at universities across the country is at the heart of the problem, and added: 'Many universities are in receipt of or are chasing very large donations from Saudi Arabia and the Gulf states and so on, and maybe they are frightened of offending them. 'I don't know why they aren't doing anything about it, it really is a bad situation. 'A spokeswoman for Exeter University told MailOnline the Baroness' claims were simply 'not true' and that Jewish students were welcome there."
