Universities being used as proxy border police, say academics

The guardian have received over 160 letters of complaints from University students who are expressing their anger to the UK border police invading the trust and privacy of the students. University are now under more pressure as the UK Border police are now checking their student’s immigration status in more detail. Universities such as Oxford, Warwick, Durham and Sheffield are clearly being looked into further as their academics are being looked further into therefore frustrating and forcing them to write to the guardian. The academics are accusing the UK force to of taking advantage of their powers and not having trust between the students and their university. This has also angered universities as they believe that the UK border police are also taking it to extreme levels. I believe that by the UK border police doing this is obviously going to frustrate not only universities but also students. The reason for this is that the trust of Universities is being questioned as they are stating that their security in which students are able to come into the university is not trust worthy.
