The university's vice chancellor, Malcolm Gillies, expressed anger at the impact of the uncertainty on students."As far as we are officially aware, UKBA is still working through an analysis of our case," he said."On  July 16 the UKBA suspended the university's HTS status until further  notice over fears that a small minority of its international students  did not have accurate documentation to remain in the UK. For the last  six weeks we have repeatedly tried to liaise with the UKBA to understand  further their concerns, which seem to be focused on processes related  to the legacy of previous management."Disappointingly, the UKBA  has been unwilling to communicate with the university, despite the  growing £10 million-plus hole their action has already left on our  balance sheet. To learn that we are to have our HTS status revoked via a  newspaper, with the panic that this can cause for thousands of  students, is outrageous."London Metropolitan University Hotline:  (+44) (0)20 7133 4141</blockquote>
