Two high‑impact governance and reputational stories surfaced in the UK and U.S. A Good Law Project report identified Bent Flyvbjerg, an emeritus professor at Oxford Saïd Business School, as the senior colleague a junior academic feared; the report says Oxford permitted Flyvbjerg to remain on campus after an arrest on suspicion of rape in early 2024, a move critics say exposed institutional safeguarding failures. The same disclosures intersect with the investigation that led to the resignation of Saïd’s dean, Soumitra Dutta. In the U.S., the Department of Justice’s tranche of Jeffrey Epstein materials shows behavioral-economics scholar Dan Ariely appearing repeatedly in the archive. Duke University reporting found Ariely’s name in hundreds of records; the published documents show correspondence but, to date, do not allege criminal conduct. Both episodes have prompted internal reviews, external scrutiny, and calls for clearer campus policies on safeguarding and outside relationships. Boards, HR and legal teams should expect probes, media attention, and potential litigation. Institutions facing similar disclosures will need rapid, transparent investigatory processes and careful communication plans to balance due process with survivor support and campus safety.
