Correction to print edition: Imperial and arms companies

by Felix
on 9 February 2024

in Issue 1842

This week's front page mistakenly stated that 'students, staff and members of the public protested Imperial's funding of arms companies on Wednesday'.

Imperial is not funding arms companies, but it has received funding from them, and has research relationships with them. There is no indication it has broken the law in these relationships. The error has been corrected in the PDF version of the paper, but appeared in print.
