In the case of London Metropolitan University, when Muslims are involved. The university is considering banning alcohol to accommodate the sensitivities of Muslim students – all in the name of “diversity”. Real diversity would allow those who want drink alcohol to do so and those who don’t, not to. What is being considered here is totalitarianism. Before anyone else says it: teetotalitarianism.

A university is considering ending the sale of alcohol on campus due to concerns from Muslim students.

London Metropolitan University could take action because a ‘high percentage’ of its students thought drinking was ‘immoral’, according to its vice chancellor.

Professor Malcolm Gillies raised the prospect of an alcohol-free campus after gauging the changing values from the influx of new students.

He said it would be unwise to ‘cling’ to a ‘nostalgic’ view where the vast majority wanted alcohol to be available and instead take account of diverging views.

He told MailOnline: ‘I was raising the issue of changing values in student populations and the question of how a responsible university responds.

‘London Metropolitan University is a highly diverse university ethnically and in religious terms. ‘

‘Our students come from all over the world and they come with changing balance of values.
