Across 1,035 reports, 86 UK universities were named. Exeter had the highest amount of reports, with 65 testimonies. The university told The Tab student wellbeing is its “primary concern” and it is committed to tackling misogyny and violence against women.
Other universities with high numbers of reports of sexual assault and harassment include Oxford, with 57, and Edinburgh and Leeds, with 53 each.
Oxford and Exeter universities are at the top of a rape culture league table compiled from more than 1,000 testimonies from students.

It said rape culture is endemic at universities and praised the courage of young women who had come forward to share their stories.
