Your article on British American Tobacco funding of Nottingham University ("Charities fume over tobacco funding", THES, December 8) quotes me as labelling the university's vice-chancellor "clever, but cynical". This is inaccurate. I certainly described the university's actions in those terms, but I did not associate them with Sir Colin Campbell.
