A Joint Statement - Luke Fitzgerald, Students' Union President and Professor Graham Baldwin, The University of Central Lancashire Vice Chancellor.
Our thoughts are with the entire student and wider community who continue to be affected by the violence and loss of life in Israel and Gaza over the last week. We know that members of the UCLan community will be affected by these events, and we want you to know that the University and the Students’ Union are here to support you.
As a University community that supports a diverse membership of students, we will always be proactive in ensuring that everyone feels safe, respected, and supported. We stand firmly against all forms of racism, antisemitism, islamophobia, discrimination, and abuse.
Hate does not belong in our community.
If you have any concerns, need some support or you are worried about your safety on campus, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
