Woke students have forced Liverpool University to rebrand an accommodation block named after William Gladstone because of his family s links to slavery.
Gladstone Halls will be renamed after racial inequality campaigner Dorothy Kuya, who was the city s first community slavery officer.
But the move has caused fury among members of the faculty, with politics professor Dr David Jeffrey slamming the decision as shameful .
He added: Liverpool University is shamefully going ahead with renaming Gladstone Hall. Named after one of our greatest Prime Ministers and one of Liverpool s most consequential political exports. He worked for the abolition of slavery and never owned slaves himself.
