SUMMARY:Invest in Staff: Divest from Genocide
DESCRIPTION:Assemble at the Middle Meadow Walk Side of the Edinburgh Futures Institute at 12.30 on Friday 21 August 2026.\nA collaboration between Scottish Palestine Solidarity Campaign (SPSC)\, University and College Union Edinburgh Branch (UCU)\, and Edinburgh University Justice for Palestine Society (EUJPS). \nThe University of Edinburgh which has over £50\,000\,000 invested in the genocidal Israeli project is currently planning 2000+ redundancies\, claiming financial insecurity. The University has spent over £400\,000\,000 on the Edinburgh’s Futures Institution and continues to make massive profits year on year. \nThe University’s senior management has failed in its role of governance\, blatantly sidestepping its own democratic processes. Edinburgh University’s student\, staff union\, and Senate have all voted for divestment\, and against these cuts. There has also been a vote of no confidence in the Vice-Chancellor\, Peter Mathieson. Yet\, senior management continues to make decisions that ignore these mandates. \nWe demand – \n\nThat the University divest from Israel’s genocide of the Palestinian people. \nThat the Scottish Government uphold its vote for BDS\, and enforces this on all institutions receiving public funds\, including the University of Edinburgh.\nThat the organisers of the Edinburgh Fringe Festival boycott the University of Edinburgh until this has been achieved.
