Group chat incident
On 1 February 2019, Croft published an open letter on the Warwick University website in response to an incident on campus via a group messenger application that resulted in the temporary suspension of 11 individuals.[5] The letter, which does not mention the victims, was criticised in a response on The Boar – a student-run news website that first publicised the incident.[6] Croft later published a follow-up indicating that two of the men whose ban was lifted would not return.[7]
