A petition to remove a New Cross university diversity officer embroiled in a racism row has received more than 13,000 signatures in six days.

The petition stating that Goldsmiths welfare and diversity officer should be removed from the university has been signed by more than 13,000 people.

Andy Keene, creator of the petition, has also stated that Ms Mustafa's degree should be revoked.

He said: "Bahar Mustafa has made very public and hateful comments toward a racial subtype and also sexist comments of misandry.

"This 'statement' was to exclude people from a social gathering according to their racial type and sex; which remarkably was to discuss Goldsmiths University's diversity policies.

"Furthermore, the killing of the white race for reasons unknown."

Ms Mustafa has been the subject of intense criticism after banning white men from an event on diversifying the university's curriculum.

She was then caught on camera stating it was impossible for her to be racist because she is an ethnic minority woman.

To counteract this, a letter in solidarity with Ms Mustafa has been created and signed by over 1,500 people.

The letter reads: "As members of the Goldsmiths community, we extend our love and solidarity to Bahar, who has been unfairly singled out for attack.

"We are proud to have a principled and courageous welfare and diversity officer.

"The consistent and targeted harassment of BME women elected officers in our student union is cynical and cowardly."

Ms Mustafa will be subject to a vote of no confidence vote if a Goldsmiths' petition is signed by more than three per cent of students by May 26.
