Although this incident happened in 2018, I only learned about it in a recent issue of the TLS.
If the case is fully and accurately reported, it represents an absurd and repressive abuse of authority by a university which, alas, can only fuel the hostility towards higher education currently stoked by Reform and others on the right.
