Brev från Academics for Palestine

Brev den 30 maj 2024 från Academics for Palestine till konsistoriet. Brevet innehåller också tidigare brevväxling mellan organisationen och universitetet:

"Dear members of the Uppsala University Board,

As students and staff of Uppsala University, we feel obliged to address you directly, since our calls for a public and honest dialogue with the University’s Management Team have gone without response. 

We are deeply concerned by the lack of response and action on the part of the Vice Chancellor and the Management Team regarding the urgent and deteriorating situation of Palestinian academia and the Palestinian people in general at the hands of Israel's genocidal war effort. The avoidance, deflection and neglect of duties, as well as misunderstanding and misrepresentation of legal and ethical obligations and facts to the public are outlined in our last letter to the Vice Chancellor below, sent on the 23rd of May.

We are forwarding this communication to you, the Board members, in the hope that this will speed up the process of opening a public and genuinely engaged dialogue between the university's leadership and the very concerned members of the Uppsala University community.

We urge you to intervene and preserve the mission and reputation of our University. We are willing to contribute our expertise and labour on the matter in a public meeting regarding the demands presented in the letter below. 

We thank you in advance for both your time and help! 

Best wishes, 

Academics for Palestine
