<p>On 16 May 2019, I wrote to all higher education institutions to urge them to consider
adopting the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) definition of antisemitism.
I set out my view that this is a useful tool, which will help front-line services
better understand and recognise instances of antisemitism.</p><p> </p><p>The government
believes that adopting the IHRA definition of antisemitism sends a clear message that
antisemitic behaviour will not be tolerated, and that any instances of antisemitism
will be taken very seriously.</p><p> </p><p>Higher education providers are autonomous
organisations who are independent from the government and individually responsible
for deciding whether to adopt the IHRA definition and this information is therefore
not held centrally.</p>
