Degrees of Abuse - Harriet’s Oxford Story | Al Jazeera Investigations

When an Oxford PhD student, Harriet, complained that she’d been sexually assaulted by a fellow student she expected Balliol College to investigate. However Harriet then discovered Balliol is one of several colleges at Oxford University to have a clause in their policy which meant they didn’t have to investigate her complaint. Harriet also claims the college put the emphasis on her behaviour, not the student she says assaulted her.

    Utterly shameful. Chaplain? What chaplain, he's demonic. And all for what? Protecting the name of a renowned institution? Then they should act, sack and hire decent teachers. As for me, I never had faith in them anyway. Where and how did they get the money to open such institutions, anyway? From legalised opium sales to the Chinese? Their very foundation has been corrupted and their stench shall linger on.

    Despicable. Typical of academic which has many examples of victims of sexual abuse being victimized. Also prevalent lack of justice and equal application of rules to employees for matters unrelated to sexual abuse. I and others know this from personal experience.

    I understand why Harriet was reluctant to report to the police. However, her case is comparatively strong.

    sadly true. the collegiate system institutionally suppresses all of these accusations and the staff ultimately facilitate it… being told by someone ‘you will not be listened to’ to your face is sickening

    They simply a sexual assault here and has nothing to do with Islam or the Quran. Why the Islamophobia ?? Was it mention that the person that carried out the assaults is a Muslim??

    Someone who requires accommodations 24/7 shouldn’t even be in dorms. She requires a 24/7 caregiver.

    In mixed gender settings, men are aroused and get out of control. If they know they can get away with it, they will force women to do a Monica.🤦🏼‍♀️

    Sorry for the necro-reply, but disabled access accommodation doesn't necessarily mean 24/7 care - in most cases, it could just mean a ground floor room so she doesn't have to walk up stairs.
