It's common knowledge that UK universities have a problem with sexual assault
between students and that a toxic "lad culture" often prevails. But
what is less well-known is the extent of sexual harassment of students
by staff.
According to The Guardian, the scale of sexual abuse and harassment is comparable to the scandals involving Jimmy Savile and the Catholic church. Its investigation follows the high-profile case of student Allison Smith, a postgraduate student at the University of Sussex, whose lecturer boyfriend was convicted of assaulting her and allowed to continue teaching at the university.
