Her office said the Office for Students (OfS), which regulates universities, had received reports of speakers and lecturers being harassed and blocked for holding gender-critical or religious views, of foreign interference suppressing academic freedoms, and of ideological belief requirements featuring in job advertisements.
The OfS will be able to use the new complaints scheme from September. From April, it will be able to fine universities the greater of £500,000 or 2 per cent of their income, which would amount to millions of pounds for large institutions, for breaches under the Freedom of Speech Act. Ultimately, universities could be deregistered for egregious cases.
Bridget Phillipson will introduce new laws to make it possible for Universities to be fined millions of pounds if they don't silence students who protest bigots invited onto their campuses. It's like the Tories never left office.

The Constitutional Reform and Governance Act 2010 (CRAG) does not prevent civil servants from informing Ministers of UK Security Vetting recommendations. What CRAG says is that Civil Servants make decisions on vetting and clearance. But no law stops Civil Servants sensibly flagging UK Security Vetting recommendations, while rightly protecting detailed sensitive vetting information, to allow Ministers to make judgements on appointments or on explaining matters to Parliament. Background/detail: Section 3 of the Constitutional Reform and Governance Act 2010 gives the Prime Minister (as Minister for the Civil Service) the power to manage the Civil Service, including appointments (with a similar provision for the Foreign Secretary in r of the Diplomatic Service). Section 3(4) clarifies that the management pow Act do not cover national security vetting.

FBI agent Denise played by David Duchovny and Dale Cooper, played by Kyle Maclachlan, Twin Peaks 1990
