Student Academics For Academic Freedom (SAFAF)

About SAFAF

Student Academics For Academic Freedom (SAFAF) was formed in May 2024. Membership is open to all students in the UK and Ireland who are committed to defending free speech and academic freedom.

SAFAF is a non-partisan group of students within the AFAF network. Membership is open to all students whatever their subject specialism or political views. We only ask potential members to sign the AFAF Statement of Academic Freedom.

Heather McKee, (University of Glasgow) who was a founder of SAFAF, has been described as a ‘flame-haired force of nature’. She was interviewed by Diane Rasmussen McAdie for a UK Colum podcast on 20 January 2025.

Student SAFAF members write regularly for the SAFAF Substack. In a recent post, Jaiden Long (QMUL) discussed why Bridget Phillipson’s gutting of the HEFOSA was A Machiavellian betrayal. Jaiden is the interim convenor of SAFAF.
