A small group of Students for Palestine demonstrators occupied the Academy Building on Rapenburg in the afternoon of Wednesday 26 November. Demonstrators also gathered outside the building and called out chants. The demonstrators want Leiden University to break all its ties with Israeli universities. The Cleveringa Lecture by political scientist Hélène Landemore had to be moved to Leiden Law School’s Kamerlingh Onnes Building.
The university previously froze its teaching programmes with Israeli universities. A special committee is preparing advice on the ongoing academic collaboration with Israeli universities.
