Three Students Disciplined For Sexual Misconduct In 2020
A first-year student in 2020 was permanently excluded from the University of Otago after multiple sexual assaults against two students. This case, and three other allegations of sexual misconduct or assault, are detailed in the University’s Discipline Reports for 2020.
Otago University considered alcohol and a “reasonable belief” in consent as relevant factors in assessing sexual misconduct cases under the Code of Student Conduct. These factors are relevant because “where an allegation of serious sexual misconduct which is capable of amounting to a crime is considered . the University applies the same legal tests as a court would apply,” said a spokesperson from the University.
