"UEA, City University London and Cranfield University all admitted to sharing student personal data with police forces. Cranfield also referred up to four students to Prevent, according to the findings."
Let's be clear on the institutional context that makes this possible:
-years of Prevent making institutions terrified of potential "terrorists" along distinctly & purposely Islamophobic lines
-Home Office monitoring of int'l students making surveillance a norm on campuses
It makes little sense to talk about repression of protest, counterterrorism, and immigration/border control as separate policy areas. They're all part of the same white supremacist continuum.
