As user Zak noted elsewhere in this thread [1], "> In terms of legitimate reasons, there may be discretionary expenses relating to insurance that can be cut for clubs, but not for sports. This could be a legitimate reason to cut a risky club while allowing a similarly risky sport; it is not a legitimate reason to hide the report." So yes, this definitely cpuld be an acceptable reason, but there's no way for students to know without the minimal transparency of publishing the risk assessment. As long as the report remains private, it may be assumed that "student safety" is a smokescreen for a political or similar reason to cut the club.
