Oxford University is facing escalating pressure from students and academic staff over its handling of serious sexual‑misconduct allegations involving emeritus professor Bent Flyvbjerg. Student bodies and faculty have demanded clarity on safeguarding, questioned interim access arrangements that allowed Flyvbjerg on campus, and called for stricter precautionary measures after reporting that the case intersected with a separate harassment probe that led to the resignation of Saïd Business School’s dean, Soumitra Dutta. College bodies have moved motions seeking stronger communication and clearer thresholds for interim restrictions on fellows and visitors. The dispute has prompted calls for universitywide reviews of safeguarding policies and could lead to judicial review of how police and university processes interacted in this matter.
