Soas has over the past three years hosted more hate preachers than any other university by a considerable margin, according to a new report.
In their annual University Extreme Speakers report , the Henry Jackson Society claims the London campus has been responsible for hosting 70 - 16 per cent - of the 435 events that featured extremist speakers over the past three years, putting up 43 speakers who have previously made pro-jihadi or antisemitic remarks over the past year.
In the 2017-18 academic year, over 20 per cent of all events featuring elements of extremism took place under its auspices.
According to the survey, Soas hosted over four times as many such events as King’s College London, Birmingham, and Queen Mary University.
