But the Headington college's Business Development Manager, Nicki O’Shea, who said the college would not make a further statement on Dr Humber's case, responded: "Ruskin College fully supports the ethos and activity of the trade union movement and its historical and ongoing links with the movement remain at the heart of its mission.
"We would like to reiterate our previous position and confirm that the disciplinary matter is entirely unconnected with Dr Humber’s role as a trade union rep at the College."
