I cannot believe I’m reading comments in support of management’s decision. Our university fosters an inclusive and diverse culture; one that our student and staff body are proud of, and one which is not tolerated in Dubai. Opening this campus does not align with UoB’s values.

How anyone can sit there and think it’s appropriate for management to suggest people don’t have family photos on their desk, or dress in a certain way, or change their next of kin is beyond me. Shame on them for doing this, and shame on anyone supporting it. We don’t even want it

Under fire ? Why ? It's illegal to be gay in UAE. Anyone with a functioning brain would A) Think of taking precautions B) Not go there (when you're queer).

Why? They're helping them. They could quite literally go to prison for it there.

The naivety of these critics is astounding. Not sure they’ve ever lived in or even visited a highly repressive country. Building a few tall buildings doesn’t make a modern, cosmopolitan, democratic place (even though it gives that illusion).

Also please either crop me out or use a different photo (ideally second option as I’m not the only student in this shot) as I have literally nothing to do with the uni’s terrible decisions and am not even a student any more

There is good reason for this. In Dubai you can still be stoned for being LGBTQ. They were told this to protect them.
