Professor David Miller claimed ‘Zionist organisations’ targeted UK universities through a ‘censorship campaign’.
Professor David Miller outside the Bristol Civil Justice Centre where he is taking the University of Bristol to an employment tribunal
The professor of political sociology was sacked by the institution in October 2021 after a disciplinary hearing found he “did not meet the standards of behaviour” expected of university staff.Giving evidence at an employment tribunal at the Bristol Civil Justice Centre on Tuesday, Prof Miller said he was targeted by groups that “launched attacks on academic freedom”.
The tribunal could become a test case as the academic tries to argue his anti-Zionist stance is a protected philosophical belief, his lawyers said.Asked about abuse directed at the then-president of the Bristol University Jewish Society , Edward Isaacs, as a result of his criticism of Prof Miller, the academic denied there was any such backlash.
The University of Bristol subsequently got a complaint from the Community Security Trust charity, which said his lecture was a “false, vile… antisemitic slur”.
