Uni claims banned

THE advertising watchdog has banned “misleading” claims by six UK universities about rankings, student satisfaction and prospects.

Falmouth, Teesside, East Anglia, Leicester, Strathclyde and West London universities have all been told to remove claims found by the Advertising Standards Authority to be misleading and unsubstantiated from their websites and other marketing material and that they must hold relevant data to back up their ads in future.
