Nottingham Trent university suspends student over 'terrible' picture with sleeping Jewish man

The sticker was not placed over the man’s mouth while he was sleeping but was instead photoshopped in afterwards for the image posted on Tinder.

Nottingham Trent University responded via Twitter, saying they had been “made aware of this post, and can see that NTU is mentioned in an individual’s personal bio.

“NTU takes all allegations of hate crime, including antisemitism, very seriously, and is looking into this matter as a priority.”

The university subsequently told the Tab student newspaper that it had “launched an immediate investigation” as soon as they were made aware of the image.

They said that a university officer had already held an interview with the student, “who was about to begin his first year of study here.

"This individual has been suspended from the university pending the conclusion of the internal disciplinary process.”

When the Tab asked the student about the picture, he said it was “indeed a terrible picture, absolutely insensitive and should not have been taken in the first place."

He also claimed he was “in no way antisemitic or have any kind of prejudice towards Jews".
