St Andrews Rector Removed from Governing Roles Over Israel Genocide Remarks

University cites breach of responsibilities and student safety concerns; Maris plans to appeal decision.

Stella Maris was dismissed from key roles at St Andrews after accusing Israel of genocide against Palestinians.
An independent investigation found her statements caused fear among some students and were deemed 'ill-judged.'
The university court emphasized the move does not infringe on Maris's freedom of speech.
Maris claims her removal sets a dangerous precedent for free speech in higher education.
She intends to appeal the decision, supported by the European Legal Support Center.
