Episode Details

University of Bristol’s appeal against firing Professor David Miller failed after a tribunal ruled his dismissal was discriminatory based on his anti-Zionist views — despite the university claiming his controversial remarks were the real reason. The professor, who called Zionism “out of place” and labeled Jewish students “political pawns,” was let go in 2021. While the tribunal rejected some of his claims, it upheld that his beliefs — even if political — are protected under law. The university insists it supports free speech but expects respectful conduct, pledging to maintain a space for debate without compromising safety or inclusion.
