A university is to ask students to sign contracts agreeing not to take drugs in its bid to become Britain's first 'drug-free campus'.

Students at Buckingham University are being asked to start a 'revolution' in making drug-taking 'socially unacceptable' in higher education - but will still kick out those who flaunt the rules.

Vice-chancellor Sir Anthony Seldon says it is 'insane' to allow drug-taking in universities to continue 'with half and more students taking them'.

And he warns that education bosses are in danger of 'colluding in the mass consumption of illegal drugs on our premises'.

It comes as a top university was criticised last week for giving detailed advice on how to take drugs 'safely' on its website.

Sheffield University, where a student died last year after taking ecstasy during a club night, offers a step-by-step guide online on taking specific substance through its student union.

It tells students who take drugs with a needle not to 'inject alone' and gives instructions about crushing MDMA and how long to wait before 'considering redosing'.

Writing for the Mail, Sir Anthony said: 'I began to ask myself what kind of moral leadership we university leaders were providing in colluding in the mass consumption of illegal drugs on our premises, with half and more students taking them?

And while we're busying praising a foreign university on insisting that students adopt clean standards of health, the same cannot be said for any Nigerian university.

CodeTemplar:
That's Nigeria for you. They criticize private universities like Covenant who insist on students taking drug test when under suspicion but praise foreign schools for testing even those not under any form suspicion.
