Bath Spa University students' union has banned Robin Thicke's hit song Blurred Lines amid accusations that it glorifies rape.
The SU is the latest in a long line across the country to ban the chart-topper from being played in union buildings or at any events it organises.
The motion, which was agreed at a student council meeting last night, was put forward by the SU's women's rep Kai Patel.
It said: "Robin Thicke's song promotes rape culture and rape apologism, placing the blame on survivors of sexual harassment, harassment and rape.....
"The student spaces should promote consent and not normalise rape culture and we should start sending out strong messages to those who capitalise on misogyny on campuses that they will not be tolerated and the experiences of survivors belittled."
SU president Amy Dawson admitted that they may be a bit late in bringing in the ban, as the song was not being played so much at the moment, but said it was part of a wider campaign to stamp out misogyny.
She said: "There were concerns that this was a kind of censorship, but we want the SU to be a safe space where students feel comfortable and if there is just one person who feels offended or upset by this song then we should support them in that.
"We know there are a huge number of songs which are misogynistic and we have been asked 'where do we draw the line?', but in this case, I think it is good that it is raising these issues and starting the debate."
More than 20 SUs across the UK, including Edinburgh, Leeds and Derby, have banned the song because of concerns about its content.
Blurred Lines topped the UK charts back in June, but its provocative lyrics have caused controversy.
Thicke has defended the words, saying the song had been misunderstood and it was actually a "feminist movement within itself".
