In May 2022, the National Union of Students’ (NUS) commissioned Rebecca Tuck KC to lead an independent investigation looking at recent allegations of antisemitism as well as historic matters and broader culture. NUS worked closely with the Union of Jewish Students throughout.   

The report and associated action plan have now been published. You can read them on NUS’s website by following this link - nus.org.uk/independent_investigation_into_antisemitism 

The findings of the investigation detail a volume of antisemitism within the student movement. The published action plan seeks to address the issues brought to light in the report.  

The plan five key areas of work each with specific actions and deadlines for implementation, a summary of which is provided below:   

  • A proud and unwavering commitment to understanding and tackling antisemitism in all its forms within NUS and the student movement.  

  • Permanent formal representation for Jewish students within a wider Inclusion and Liberation Strategy for NUS.  

  • Changing culture through education, practice and dialogue.  

  • An enhanced Candidate Preparation Process for NUS elections.
