"The presidents of the Society to take responsibility for their own advertising, and is not considered by UCLU prior to distribution," the union said. "They provide training on equality before starting a business, to help them understand the balance between freedom of expression and cultural sensitivity."

In a statement posted on his Facebook page, company president, Robbie Yellon said: "University College London Union acknowledged that mistakes were made and the initial correspondence with our company the union was flawed is reviewed.'s position on these issues and said it does not happen again. They can not look to us to delete the image. We welcome this development, which sets an important precedent for other universities. We also believe to be recognized the rapid response of the Union, which certainly helped to reach this successful conclusion. "
A spokesman said the company atheist student union had agreed to show more consideration of how social events are announced, but the accession process of the company could still countervailable disciplinary.
"If people continue to complain then we will follow the normal procedure," said James Skuse, democracy of the Union and responsible for communication.
- said the disciplinary action, which could be a forced resignation of committee members, or leave the union, was "a possibility among others."
- atheistic society uses the title page of a comic book, Jesus and Mo, a British artist named Mohammed alias Jones on Facebook last week.
- After complaints from students has been informed by the union Tuesday that it would be "prudent" to take on the comic. The company refused to launch an online petition to "defend freedom of expression in the University College of London" and criticized "attempts to censor" the. Company
The company was asked to remove his post "because UCLU aims to promote good relations between different groups of students and create a safe environment where all students can benefit of society, regardless of their religious or other beliefs. "
