Homerton: The college authorities are said to be "shocked and disappointed"Steve Day

Homerton has cancelled all bops for the remainder of the academic year after excrement, urine and vomit were found after a bop at the College.

An email sent round to all undergraduates at the college claims that the bop, on Saturday 13th February, caused damage worth a four-figure sum.

Both accommodation blocks and the Mary Allan Building (MAB), which houses both the porters’ lodge and the college library, suffered damage after the party organised by the Homerton Union of Students’ (HUS), the college’s JCR.

In the email, the Bursar, Deborah Griffin, said that the college was “shocked and disappointed” at students’ behaviour.

“The HUS Committee have worked exceptionally hard to ensure that these events are safe and enjoyable,” Griffin said.

“However, the subsequent noise and damage caused by some students, including excrement, urine and vomit found across several of the residences and MAB, is unacceptable.”

The damage during the bop, which acted as a launch event for Homerton June Event, meant that the college could “no longer safeguard the welfare of its students under such circumstances,” the email read.

The email also accuses students from other colleges of causing damage, though did not give further details.

“These were guests of Homerton students, who should therefore take a measure of responsibility,” Griffin said.

The email also claims that students directly involved in the damage were being “dealt with” by the Dean.

The Bursar confirmed that the College was working with the HUS to organise “an alternative event for the end of this term”.

This is not the first time a college has cancelled bops this year in response to rowdy behaviour. In October, Varsity reported on the cancellation of bops at Queens’ for the remainder of Michaelmas Term after one student was taken away in an ambulance, and another stained stonework with vomit during the Subject Bop on 16th October.
