Andalusian High Court Overturns University of Granada Suspension of Ties With Israeli Institutions

The decision rests on constitutional rights of dignity, equality and non-discrimination, prompting a planned Supreme Court challenge.

Overview

  • The TSJA annulled the UGR’s May 17, 2024 suspension of academic and scientific collaborations with Israeli institutions, ordered reconsideration, and imposed €1,500 in costs.
  • It reversed a March 2025 ruling by Granada’s Administrative Court No. 3 that had upheld the university’s measure.
  • The court held the suspension discriminatory and contrary to fundamental rights, ruling that university autonomy cannot justify measures that stigmatize or exclude affected students and staff.
  • ACOM brought the case and the Prosecutor’s Office supported the appeal, arguing the agreement unlawfully targeted people linked to Israeli universities without objective justification.
  • APDHA and the Red Universitaria por Palestina announced a cassation appeal to the Supreme Court, and the University of Granada said it is studying its own challenge.
