Students outraged at lack of action over Warwick Tories’ Nazi scandal

WARWICK students called today for the disbanding of the university’s Conservative association, slamming the institution for its inaction after member were filmed singing a Nazi marching song at a black-tie dinner in June.

The university suspended the society for “up to 90 days” pending an “externally-led investigation.”

However, despite protests and a petition being signed by more than 100 student societies and clubs, the Conservative association was restored as term time began and allowed to appear at a societies fair.

Campaign group Disband the Tories said all other political societies had been forced into a separate room, while the Warwick Tories were allowed to remain in the main hall.

A spokesperson for the university said that it investigated three students, adding that the person who requested the song was banned from campus and has since graduated.

Another will “have no further action taken against them, as it was found they had taken the appropriate action at the time in trying to have the song stopped.”

The other student will attend a disciplinary hearing in the autumn.

They added that the university will be “making strong training recommendations to all societies through the students’ union.”
