University bosses remove part of an Ancient Greek poem that mentions domestic violence to avoid upsetting students

Decision made on the grounds that the words could 'potentially trigger' distress. Critics fear others may be targeted and warned of 'slippery slope' to censorship. The 118-line poem is controversial because of the way women are portrayed.
