AUT professor arrives in Haifa University. He should be home in time to participate in the special AUT meeting which will hopefully overturn the anti-Semitic boycott.
The driving force behind the boycott is moaning:
She did not bemoan the high handed manner in which the decision was made. At the Bham AUT meeting where these motions
were passed and from which they were sent to Council the
AUT President (who was in the chair at Council) ruled that the participants had to waive all debate and right of reply and move straight to the vote.
NICE!
For the latest news on this subject visit Liberty Blog It lists precise actions you can take to help insure success on the 26th of May. "So, apparently the thing to do when you lose the vote is to get a Special
Council called to reverse the decision. If we all did that, where would AUT
be? Jon Pike and co. have got 25 members of Council to sign up for their
call, with the result that a Special Council has been called for 26th May,
in London. Deadline for motions is 18th May. All supporters of the
Palestinian call for boycott are urged to get themselves delegated to this
important meeting - despite the fact that AUT time and resources could be
better spent in our humble opinion."
