Staff message: Student Conservative Association video

A video that appears to show Warwick students singing a Nazi marching song appeared in the national media over the weekend. The video shows events alleged to have taken place at a recent off-campus dinner for the University of Warwick Conservative Association (UWCA), which is a student-run society.

Our University response is below:

"Antisemitism has no place on our campus and the behaviour depicted in the video is reprehensible.

In line with University policy, we have initiated an externally led investigation and will share the findings once they are available. To ensure that the investigation is as robust as this issue deserves, we allow for up to 90 days to complete the investigation.

Warwick SU has suspended the activities of Warwick Conservative Association while the investigation is carried out.

Should appropriate action be necessary following the conclusion of the investigation, we will not hesitate to act.

We encourage anyone affected by the allegations to report their concerns via our Report + Support service."
