Zionists prepare for NATFHE boycott motion

From Ha'aretz, NATFHE, the National Association of Teachers in Further and Higher Education,

The largest university and college lecturers union in Britain is likely to decide shortly to recommend that its 67,000 members boycott Israeli lecturers and academic institutions that do not publicly declare their opposition to Israeli policy in the territories.

The boycott motion, which was drafted by the southeast region of the National Association of Teachers in Further and Higher Education (NATFHE), will be brought to a vote at its annual national conference, which will be held May 27-29. It comes about a year after the last boycott by British lecturers.

In April 2005, the British Association of University Teachers (AUT) decided to impose an academic boycott on Bar-Ilan and Haifa universities, but subsequently reversed the decision. The two lecturers organizations are slated to merge at the beginning of June.

The Engage website was a central resource in the campaign to have the Association of University Teachers. Let's hope delegates have a good browse this time around. Engage has degenerated from disingenuousness to downright dishonesty since the AUT business.
