The Executive Board of Meretz USA adopted a resolution on Sunday, June 10, opposing a recently passed resolution of Great Britain's University and College Union (UCU) promoting the boycott of Israeli academics and academic institutions.

Calling the UCU resolution, "an attack on the very academic freedom that must be preserved for both Israelis and Palestinians...," the Meretz USA Board instead proposed a number of measures of positive engagement between British, Israeli, and Palestinian academics including forums, dialogue, research, and contact to advance and strengthen the prospects of peace and reconciliation.
