A historian who was stripped of his honorary fellowship by Keele University after he refused to comply with “hostile environment” immigration checks said he had been “thunderstruck” by his treatment.
Philip Morgan, who retired as a senior lecturer from Keele in 2019, said he was given just five days to move out of an office associated with his honorary post when he questioned why he needed to show his passport for a “right to work” check upon his return to teach at a summer school in August.
