> ‘Inclusivity is one of the Students’ Union’s founding principles.’

Don't make me laugh. To outright ban clapping to avoid triggering a minority is like banning free-speech to favour the offended minority. This move sounds totally extreme to favour a few 'triggered' participants who could just simply wear earplugs to reduce their sensory input which allows them to still participate.

You might as well ban whistling, shouting and cheering then, since that happens allot in graduation ceremonies, pubs, sport stadiums and concerts. This just isn't practical, but if it is practical to roll this 'policy' at other student unions at Oxford University, then this just creates problems rather than solves them.
