Universities in England face fines if they fail to protect students from harassment

Universities in England face fines if they fail to protect students from harassment

01 August 2024  

Universities in England will be fined if they fail to take adequate steps to protect students from harassment and sexual misconduct under measures that will also ban the use of non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) in such cases.

Higher education institutions will have to take steps to prevent "abuse of power" where there are personal relationships between staff and students, the universities watchdog said.

The move fell short of an outright ban on relationships between staff and students, which had been floated as an option. Some universities have already introduced a ban of their own volition, and the expectation is that more will follow.

The Office for Students (OfS), which regulates higher education in England, set out the measures on Wednesday constituting a new condition of university registration. If they fail to comply they face sanctions including financial penalties, being stripped of access to student loan funding and even being de-registered.

An OfS survey published at the same time revealed that a fifth of students who took part in the poll had experienced unwanted sexual behaviour in the 2022-23 academic year. Female students were more than twice as likely to experience sexual harassment as male students (27% v 12%), and more than three times more likely to experience sexual assault or violence than men (13% v 4%).
