Inhalt: This report is the first step towards understanding this issue of sexual misconduct within academia. It shows that higher education is an environment where casual misconduct, harassment, and sexism are rife, and where sexualised and sexist behaviours are culturally embedded. We need to understand this contextually, as part of both wider culture and the particular nature of higher education. Staff-student sexual misconduct needs to be located as part of a continuum of sexual violence in universities and in society more widely. However, the unique dynamics of the relationship between staff and students in higher education means that there are aspects of sexual misconduct that are specific to this setting. This report sheds light on these behaviours – and on the power relations between staff and students more broadly.
