Nottingham Trent university has expelled a student who posted a picture of himself on a dating app pointing and laughing at a sleeping Orthodox man on the London underground, having photoshopped a Palestinian flag over his mouth.
The 20-year old student, identified as Jonathan, had been due to start his first year at Nottingham Trent, but was suspended by the university earlier this month while an internal disciplinary process was underway.
As reported by the Tab student newspaper, a spokesperson for the university confirmed on Thursday that “a student has been permanently excluded from the university, relating to offensive content which circulated on social media in September.
“This behaviour was completely unacceptable and is not recognised as part of our university’s culture."
