Be ready to be shocked and offended at university,
students told
Students should be ready to be shocked and offended at
university, according to the man in charge of ensuring
free speech on campuses.
Arif Ahmed, from the Office for Students (OfS), which
regulates universities, told the BBC that exposure to
views which students might find offensive was "part of
the process of education".
It comes as the OfS published guidance for universities
in England on how a new law, designed to protect free
speech, will work when it comes into force from August.
Universities had requested clarity from the OfS on how
to best uphold freedom of speech, after the University
of Sussex was fined £585,000 for failing to do so in March.
The university was issued with the fine earlier this year
under existing powers, after the OfS said its policy on
trans and non-binary equality had a "chilling effect"
on freedom of speech.
Kathleen Stock had previously resigned from her post
as philosophy professor at the university, following
protests by students against her gender-critical views.
