Conservative MPs have attacked the University of Bristol for being a âhotbed of antisemitismâ and fostering a climate similar to â1930s Nazi Germanyâ over its failure to swiftly address accusations that a professor used offensive tropes.
The university is investigating David Miller, professor of political sociology, after allegations that he criticised Israel for wanting to âimpose its will over the worldâ and said some Jewish students were being used as âpolitical pawns by a violent, racist foreign regimeâ.
In an education select committee meeting on Tuesday, several MPs pressed the universities minister, Michelle Donelan, on why she had not spoken directly to the university or threatened sanctions such as a withdrawal of funding.
