The University of Sheffield has released a statement warning students of the potential action they could face if they misbehave at protests.
It comes after pro-Palestine students occupied The Wave in protest of the university’s ties with companies in the arms trade.
They also called for an immediate ceasefire.
The statement from the university said: “We want to remind our students of the behaviour expectations around protests and that racism, antisemitism, islamophobia or support for proscribed organisations are against the law.”
Information on behaviour expectations can be found on the university website.
The statement also said: “We understand that the issue surrounding the conflict in israel/Gaza but it affects many different groups of people – including our students, staff, and alumni.”
“We encourage students with concerns to seek support from university support services.”
If the conflict has affected you in any way, the University of Sheffield’s support services can be found here.
