One staff member called the legal action 'utterly unnecessary'
The University of Nottingham has threatened legal action against a student encampment on its grounds. Around two dozen tents were set up on land just inside the entrance to the UoN's Jubilee Campus on Friday, May 10, by an activist group called the Nottingham Encampment for the Liberation of Palestine .
Now, 140 staff members have signed a letter supporting the camp. One, an X user called tomgk90, said: "Proud to be one of over 140 members of staff at University of Nottingham that has signed this letter supporting the NCLP in response to the utterly unnecessary legal action that the university has taken against them."
"The students have created a friendly, welcoming space for all who visit. It is a diverse and inclusive group. During a vigil for the victims of the current invasion, Jewish students took part and led a prayer of remembrance. We see no reason why the students should be removed from the camp." Leila said: "It's been stress for us. It's been really difficult, don't get me wrong but it's been something to celebrate seeing students coming together in their unity underneath one joint cause."
