Nearly 60 per cent of female students say they have been sexually assaulted at university, a shocking new survey has found.
Student news site The Tab asked 4,000 students about their experiences of sexual assault on campus for its 2021 Sexual Assault Survey.
It found widespread problems - with 59 per cent of female students who responded saying they d been sexually assaulted at uni.
But just seven per cent of students reported their sexual assault to their uni, the figures show.
It found two thirds were unhappy with how their uni handled their case and half of were say they were told nothing about the outcome of their complaint.
Exeter University - where JK Rowling and Zara Tindall studied - tops the list of 108 universities where sex assault allegations have been made by people on the Everyone s Invited website.
The forum, set up last year by former student Soma Sara for people to share their stories of sexual abuse and rape culture , has shaken Britain s educational establishments.
Along with top schools, the UK s most prestigious universities were named in the 1,000 plus testimonials and red-brick Exeter appeared most, coming up in 65 anonymous testimonials on the website.
Oxford, Leeds, Edinburgh and University College London make up the top five.
Everyone s Invited s founder Miss Sara, who set it up while living with her grandmother s Paris home during lockdown after graduating from UCL, has said they were overwhelmed with new testimonials from universities.
“We have an expanded college site to be proud of and one which will serve our community well into the 21st century.
“By expanding our primary and pre-school provisions, we have become the first educational establishment in Cambridgeshire to provide education from 4 to 18 years old.
“Our talented team of teaching staff will be shaping the hearts and minds of the next generation of children and guiding them through their primary and secondary years.
“We just have a small part of the project to go before it’s fully complete and we now look ahead to a time when all our pupils can safely return to the school site so we can all celebrate together.
