CarolenUniversity threatened with legal action after protest at academic's talk
She alleged that her freedom of speech was restricted in a number of ways, including:
The number of attendees being restricted to 60 staff, postgraduate students and members of the public
Undergraduate students being prohibited from attending
Limited advertising being provided for the event
A venue for the event being chosen which was vulnerable to protests
Reasonable steps not being taken to prevent the talk being disrupted
Prof Sullivan told the BBC it was like a "zombie apocalypse" as some protesters pressed up against the window with placards and loudhailers.
