A Nottingham university has released a statement after receiving criticism over its partnership with a multinational defence company.
It comes after an officer at the University of Nottingham's student union has voiced his anger on Twitter about the collaboration with BAE Systems, a British multinational arms, security, and aerospace company.
Chris Taylor, who has been a student at the university before becoming an education officer, said: "Having these partnerships means basically that the university is saying that they're okay with the kind of products that BAE Systems manufacturers, and the students should be okay with it too.
