Reports that Anders Behring Breivik, the man who killed 77 people in a bomb attack and gun rampage in 2011, has applied to study political science at the University of Oslo have prompted anger in Norway. The claim was first made by Norwegian broadcaster TV2 and was subsequently picked up by other media outlets. Ole Petter Ottersen, rector of the University of Oslo, told CNN the university does not provide information about individual applications or students for confidentiality reasons, so he was unable to confirm or deny the claim. But if Breivik was to apply, he said, the university has a clear set of guidelines governing the decision on admittance and that policy would apply.
