British academia voted yesterday to boycott cooperation with universities in Israel in protest of Israel's presence in the Occupied Territories. Though the vote at the first meeting of the University and College Union passed by a majority of 158 to 99, several prominent members were opposed to the decision. General Secretary to the Union, Sally Hunt, said, "I do not believe a boycott is supported by a majority of UCU members, nor do I believe that members see it as a priority for the union."
