University of Glasgow: complicit in Israel’s genocide

At around 9:50am on Thursday 6 February, Hannah Taylor and Catriona Roberts used fire extinguishers to spray the James McCune Smith Learning Hub in red paint.

The University of Glasgow has £6.8 million worth of shareholdings in arms companies such as BAE systems and QinetiQ. They have also received around £600,000 in research funding from BAE systems and Rolls Royce since 2017. QinetiQ, a supplier of military robotics, has been criticised for their active export of arms to Israel and involvement in the British Army Watchkeeper Programme which allegedly tested the drones on Palestinian civilians in Gaza.

This is despite overwhelming opposition from both student groups and staff.
