Excerpt:
Academics at Cambridge University have reacted with dismay after being ordered not to shake hands automatically with Muslims or disabled people in case it upsets them.
A directive sent to admissions tutors warns that some applicants are 'culturally sensitive' to traditional greetings and suggests that 'suitable body language' is just as welcoming.
A spokesman for the university said: 'Dons should read the situation properly and bear in mind that not all people will want to shake hands.'
