Students share their stories of sexual assault and harassment - and reveal how they felt victimised by their universities when they reported incidents. Up until three years ago the guidelines for universities said sexual misconduct should never be investigated internally. But in 2016 guidelines published by Universities UK, encouraged universities to take on these cases in-house as civil matters, with allegations to be examined on 鈥榯he balance of probabilities鈥�, rather than the criminal court standard of 鈥榖eyond reasonable doubt鈥�. But students tell reporter Fiona Foster how they believe universities are more interested in protecting their reputation than their students and serial offenders are still at large. And even when perpetrators are dealt with, they鈥檙e often given derisory punishments.The Office For Students says it has invested more than two million pounds in initiatives to work out ways of addressing the issue and that it has seen evidence of some universities managing complaints effectively.
