University rejects SU motion to ban ‘academic hate speech’

[GoodTaste]

At the first glance of the headline "University rejects SU motion to ban ‘academic hate speech’“, it appears to have two different meanings. One is that it means " University rejects SU motion in order to ban ‘academic hate speech’." The other means "University rejects SU motion that will ban ‘academic hate speech’."

Then after reading the content, I find the latter is the case.

Does the headline appear clear to you native English speakers?

It does to me.

And to me.

Yes, it does. But I think that is partly because of our knowledge of the culture we live in, and not entirely because of the structure of the sentence.
