Tristan Smith, who launched the campaign, told,"I don't think this man should be a chancellor and a role model. I want to be proud to go here.
"A lot of people agree with me, and I had a staff member say to me that they were really pleased that I had put it forward. "I don't think his actions represent us. I would be surprised if the SU does not back this. By continuing this relationship and inviting him to our graduations, the university is not making this a safe space."
The campaign gained steam after the hashtag"#notmychancellor" started trending on Twitter. On Monday evening, the student union met and called for"survivors of sexual assault above royal connections". "We as students at the University of Huddersfield and members of Huddersfield Students' Union should not be represented by a man with ties to organised child sexual exploitation and assault," the motion read., the university is reevaluating their involvement with the duke."We are aware of the Students' Union meeting last night and the motion it passed regarding the Chancellor," Huddersfield University said.
