Growth in university students identified by government’s Prevent programme is worrying, says campaign group Hope Not Hate
The number of university students flagged under the government’s Prevent counter-extremism programme has gone up by 50% in two years, with “mixed, unclear or unstable” (MUU) ideologies showing the biggest increase, according to new figures.
The latest Prevent monitoring data, published by the higher education regulator for England, the Office for Students, shows students characterised as having MUU extremist ideologies now make up the largest category.
