Language targeting &ldquo;foreign infidels&rdquo; is designed to divide communities and intimidate migrants, international students, and people of faith. Racism and Islamophobia have no place on our campus, or in our town.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Our international students and students&nbsp;from minority ethnic backgrounds&nbsp;are a valued part of the Ulster community. We stand in solidarity with them, and with everyone who believes the Causeway Coast should be a welcoming place for all who live, work, and study here.&nbsp;</p> <p>We support the peaceful counter&nbsp;demonstration &ldquo;Causeway Coast is Home for All&rdquo;,&nbsp;organised&nbsp;by the Causeway Trade Union Council, which sends a clear message that our community rejects hate and stands for inclusion and solidarity.&nbsp;Contact your VP Equality and Belonging, Catherine Mailey, if you would like to join UUSU at the&nbsp;counter&nbsp;demonstration.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>We&nbsp;recognise&nbsp;that events like this&nbsp;may be upsetting or distressing for some students.&nbsp;If you need&nbsp;support,&nbsp;please contact Student Wellbeing,&nbsp;who are available to help.&nbsp;</p> <p>Ulster University Students&rsquo; Union stands firmly against racism, Islamophobia,&nbsp;and all forms of hate. The Causeway Coast is home for all.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>Tue, 24 Mar 2026 10:07:20 Z2026-03-24T10:07:20Z
