A UK university has been blasted for rejecting a student on the discriminatory basis they are Russian.
The University of West London (UWL) highlighted shortly after Putin's invasion of Ukraine its thoughts were with “those within Russia courageously opposing the conflict”. It added that, "In the fact of such adversity, UWL affirms its commitment to the values and freedoms at are central to our way of life and our institution: community, tolerance, cooperation, freedom of academic enquiry and expression”. But an email sent to an aspiring just a few months later, suggested these values had been cast aside and replaced by the shunning individuals based on their nationality.
