“Our University is a place committed to exploring challenging ideas in a respectful and tolerant environment. We welcome the exchange of strongly held views; but acts of criminality have no place here."

“The safety and well-being of our students and staff are paramount, and I want to thank Greater Manchester Police for their continuing investigations, and for keeping the public informed."

“We will continue to engage directly with our staff, students, and the local community, ensuring that their voices are heard, that they feel safe and welcome on our campus, and to foster a culture of mutual respect and understanding.”
