High-profile universities listed among worst on Palestine

The UK University Repression League Table 2025, released last week by Social Innovators for Justice, ranks 139 universities based on two categories: Crackdown on activism – where students or staff have faced suspensions, disciplinary warnings, legal threats or protest bans for expressing support for Gaza or criticising Israel’s actions, and Complicity – where institutions hold investments in or research partnerships with arms companies or other firms supplying weapons, surveillance tools, or infrastructure used in military attacks, including Israel’s assault on Gaza, reports James Walker for The National.

The most severe cases, according to the ranking, include University College London (with a repression score of 100%), Queen Mary University of London (92.5%), the University of Bristol (86.3%), and the London School of Economics (78.9%).

In terms of universities in Scotland, Glasgow University tops the list – coming in at seventh worst in the UK overall and 68.8%.
