Edinburgh University responds as students stage walk out over Israel | The National (2025-07-15)

———

>> Video shared on Instagram showed Thursday’s events – which were for graduates of the university’s School of Social and Political Science…

>> Graduates waved flags with slogans such as “No universities in Gaza”, “Jews say divest”, and “Fund teaching not genocide” as they took to the stage.

>> A large group of students were seen to rise, chanting, before walking out of the ceremony.

>> The Edinburgh University Justice for Palestine Society posted other clips and reported that further protests had happened during ceremonies for biomedical sciences, engineering, chemistry, physics, and English.

>> It came after a report by #FrancescaAlbanese, … named the University of Edinburgh as one of “the most financially entangled” institutions in the UK to Israel.
