London Metropolitan University announced it is to commence urgent legal action against UKBA's decision to revoke its licence to sponsor international students.
The vice chancellor at London Metropolitan University has described claims that led to the institution losing its visa licence as "not particularly cogent" and said it would be disputing them:
I am not going to say that we accept what is stated in the letter sent to us revoking our licence.
We only received it at 8pm last night and are currently doing a full analysis, working together with the best lawyers in the country.
I would go so far as to say that UKBA has been rewriting its own guidelines on this issue and this is something which should cause concern to all universities in the UK.
Should a university lose its licence to admit non-EU students? The Home Office says London Metropolitan had the chance to put things right.
More than 2,000 foreign students could face deportation from the UK after the Government stripped a university of its visa licence.
