University probes eugenics conference with links to white supremacists

UCL claimed it did not have prior notice of either the speakers or the content, adding that the LCI events were booked and paid for as an “external event”, and thus was not officially endorsed by the university.

A university spokesman said: “We are an institution that is committed to free speech but also to combatting racism and sexism in all forms.

“We have suspended approval for any further conferences of this nature by the honorary lecturer and speakers pending our investigation into the case.”

UCL’s insignia has appeared on a number of LCI publications, and within the conference’s logo on its official YouTube channel.
