Controversy

In 2019, Trinity Hall caused controversy and triggered international headlines after it emerged that the College supported "sex pests" working at the educational institution, where students reside on site.[4][5][6] In 2015, ten students submitted formal complaints of verbal sexual harassment by one Fellow. The outcome of these complaints was that the Fellow was asked to withdraw permanently from further teaching and from attending any social events at which students might be present. The College reports that both parties were content with this outcome*. However, in 2017 the Fellow was mistakenly invited to an event in College which students attended. An independent review of the matter followed**. In 2019 a formal agreement as to what events the Fellow could attend was approved by the Governing Body. However, some students and alumni expressed upset that he remained an Emeritus Fellow of the College. The College issued a formal statement regarding the individual’s emeritus fellowship[7][8]*. The Fellow in question then resigned. Human rights barrister Dr Charlotte Proudman said "The College has given fellows a licence to abuse their power with impunity. Women students are not safe in their own colleges."[9], while The Guardian called it "a gross betrayal to the students" and "a dangerous environment for women students to study"[10].
