Freedom of speech has special legal status at universities, and must be upheald for students, lecturers and any visiting speakers. However, universities also have a legal duty of care to students. The question of how to address extremism on campuses is highly emotive and characterised by competing rights and obligations. This report demonstrates that Islamist ideology is promoted to students in three ways. It focuses on the role of external speakers invited to address students and occations when student society social media is used to share violent or extremist material. It also profiles a small number of students and recent graduates across London who promote Islamist political activism and diseminate Islamist or Islamist-sympathetic material. The report goes on to provide universities, student unions, relevent government departments and student societies with practicle recomendations for challenging the types of extremism highlighted while preserving an open environment on campuses.
