University students have been forced to apologise for mocking homeless people by holding a ‘tramps night out’.
Students covered their faces in fake dirt and cut up cheap clothes to dress as rough sleepers before downing alcohol at nightclubs.
The Students’ Union at Liverpool John Moores University [LJMU] says it has now launched a ‘full investigation’ after the Trampolining Society’s event.

Posting on social media last week, the society told members the details of the night out. The post read: ‘This Wednesday after training is tramps night!
‘We will be in revs for 10 then move on to level! Be sure to dress as trampy as you can, primark do cheap shirts if you need to get them!!

Signs worn on previous years showed similar messages, with one reading ‘give me your change and I’ll change your night’.
The LJMU Trampoline Society has now scrapped the ‘inappropriate’ theme from future nights out and apologised.
The club said: ‘We realise now, that our annual choice of costume could cause offence and are sorry for any upset this may have caused, it was never our intention.
‘We will of course be changing our annual fancy dress theme and once again apologise to anyone who may have found this inappropriate.’
A spokeswoman for the Students’ Union said: ‘We have recently been made aware of the annual tramps night out fancy dress social held by our Trampolining Society.
‘As a Students’ Union we do not endorse fancy dress that could be deemed as offensive or discriminatory and have reached out directly to the society involved who realise that an error in judgement has been made with this choice of costume.
‘They apologise for any offence caused, and will be changing their annual social theme with immediate effect.
‘JMSU believes that all events and socials held by its students should be welcoming and inclusive.
JMSUは、Liverpool John Moores University Students’ Unionです。
‘As such, going forwards we’ll be working closely with all our clubs and societies to make sure incidents like this do not happen again and will be making sure clear guidelines are in place for our students with regards to fancy dress.’
The Students’ Union added it has launched a ‘full investigation’ but refused to confirm whether it knew about the event previously.
