A General Meeting of Exeter University and College Union (UCU)
voted unanimously on a resolution acknowledging that recognising degrees from Ariel University, or to collaborate with Ariel University in any way, would be complicity in the breaking of international law.

Exeter UCU notes that Israeli settlements in occupied territory constitute a breach of international law, as is affirmed by (among others) the British Government, the United Nations (Security Council and General Assembly), the International Court of Justice, the International Committee of the Red Cross, and the High Contracting Parties to the Geneva Convention.

Exeter UCU notes therefore that, because Ariel University is built in a settlement, for the University of Exeter to recognise degrees from Ariel University, or to collaborate with Ariel University in any way, would be complicity in the breaking of international law.
