A Jewish student has received an apology and payment of £1,000 from the University of York Students' Union after complaining of anti-Semitism.

Law student Zachary Confino, 21, was offered the four-figure sum after two years of battling anti-Semitism from students whilst studying at the university.

It is understood that Mr Confino, who narrowly missed out on a first class degree and had suffered with stress, had been racially abused and bullied.

The university confirmed that Mr Confino had accepted the written apology from the university's students' union following the long-running complaint.
