 The advert offered students a free voucher |
A Student Union has formally backed a decision to stop a newspaper being distributed in its building in protest at a "sexist" advert. University of East Anglia student newspaper Concrete ran an advert for Norwich lapdance club The Devil's Advocate.
The advert featured a black-and-white photograph of a naked woman.
On Wednesday, the SU expressed concern about the advert, which also had a voucher offering students a free lapdance at the club, after five students complained.
'Could cause offence'
On Thursday night the SU executive committee decided to express its disapproval of the magazine by banning its sale in the Union building.
SU communications officer Ned Glasier said that the newspaper could be distributed outside the building.
"The executive committee felt the advert was sexist and could cause offence and wanted to show their support for the people who had complained," he said.
Katie Hind, the editor of "Concrete", said she thought the SU was over-reacting and that five complaints were not representative of the 11,000 students at the university.
