answer text <p>We recognise that arrangements for EU academic staff coming to the UK after we leave the EU is a key issue for the Higher Education sector, and one that will need to be considered as part of wider discussions about the UK’s relationship with the EU. DfE officials meet regularly with Home Office officials to discuss this and other matters, and the two departments will continue to work closely as these issues progress. DfE officials also meet regularly with officials from the devolved administrations to discuss a range of issues regarding higher education after the UK leaves the EU, and will continue to do so.</p> more like this

answer text <p>University funding is a devolved matter, and Scottish university funding arrangements are therefore a matter for the Scottish Government to decide. However, DfE officials meet regularly with officials from the devolved administrations to discuss a range of issues regarding higher education after the UK leaves the EU, and will continue to do so as these issues progress.</p> more like this

answer text <p>This Government takes anti-Semitism extremely seriously. There is no place in our society - including within higher education – for hatred or any form of harassment, discrimination or racism, including anti-Semitism.</p><p><br>The Government has recently adopted the non-legally binding definition of anti-Semitism, to help clarify how anti-Semitism can manifest itself in the 21<sup>st</sup> century.</p><p><br>Universities have a responsibility to provide a safe and inclusive environment for all students. The legal obligation for ensuring that students do not face discrimination, harassment, abuse or violence rests with individual institutions. Universities should have robust policies and procedures in place to comply with the law, and to enable them to investigate and address swiftly any anti-Semitic incidents that are reported.</p><p>The Government asked Universities UK (UUK) to set up an Harassment Taskforce in 2015, to consider what more can be done to address harassment on campus, including on the basis of religion and belief. The Union of Jewish Students, Jewish Leadership Council, Board of Deputies of British Jews and the Community Security Trust were part of its wider advisory group. The taskforce published its report: ‘Changing the Culture’, on 21 October 2016.</p><p>The Government has asked UUK to monitor progress. UUK plan to establish more baseline evidence, and to assess institutions’ progress in implementing the recommendations and report later this year.</p>
