'Equality activists have praised a "courageous" Plymouth University student for fighting an "appalling decision" banning him from setting up a men's forum on campus.

Yesterday The Herald reported on 21-year-old Will Styles, who was told equal opportunities legislation only applies to groups who have suffered "historic and ongoing discrimination".

His bid to establish a men's forum, to run alongside the existing women's forum, was rejected by the University of Plymouth Students' Union (UPSU).

Campaigner Mike Buchanan, who runs an organisation called Justice for Men and Boys, said: "We wish this courageous young man every success in establishing a men's forum.'
