Last night the Students Union passed a motion to lobby the prince to step down.

It follows Prince Andrew's appearance on BBC Newsnight in what critics called a "car-crash" interview.

The university itself said Prince Andrew's "enthusiasm for innovation and entrepreneurship" was a "natural fit" with its work.
