It is one thing for senior managers at London Metropolitan University to comment on how the student union runs its affairs, but quite another for them to remove material they dislike from the student union website ("Student union plea silenced", June 3).

Would it be acceptable - or legal - for university staff to remove hard copies of documents from the offices of the student union?

Last year the management ordered the pulping of an entire print run of a former colleague's book, and this latest act of suppression will do nothing for the reputation of free speech at the university.
