Question to the Department for Education:

To ask His Majesty's Government whether vice-chancellors of UK universities have published the data on the scale and prevalence of antisemitism on university campuses that they committed to publish following the Antisemitism Summit on 5 May; and what discussions they have had with the Office for Students about the publication of this data.

Universities must tackle antisemitic abuse swiftly and decisively. Following the 5 May Antisemitism Summit, the government made clear that universities should publish anonymised data on antisemitic incidents and the action taken in response to improve transparency and accountability.

A recent Universities UK survey found that while some institutions publish information on incidents and outcomes, practice varies across the sector. Data protection concerns, particularly where small numbers could lead to individuals being identified, can present barriers to greater transparency.

The department is working with Universities UK, the Office for Students, the Office of the Independent Adjudicator and the Union of Jewish Students to consider the findings, share good practice and encourage greater transparency and consistency across the sector.
