Oxford Saïd Business School’s dean Soumitra Dutta resigned following an internal investigation substantiating multiple harassment complaints by a female colleague. Mette Morsing, director of Oxford’s Smith School of Enterprise and Environment, will serve as interim dean. The case highlights ongoing challenges around faculty conduct, administrative accountability, and the handling of harassment allegations in top-tier institutions. Meanwhile, Texas A&M University fired a senior lecturer in English after political pressure and controversy over course content on gender identity and transgender issues. The incident involved conflicts over academic freedom, curriculum mandates, and political intervention, reflecting broader national debates on governance and ideological disputes in higher education leadership.
