A university can signal either: ‘We take victims of bullying & harassment seriously’
Or: ‘we protect the accused until proven guilty, beyond the tiniest scintilla of doubt’
All universities choose the latter
So real & harmful harassment is ubiquitous in academia

Nasty bug.
ALT A two-panel comic titled "TWONKS." First Panel: A man noticing some small pots of liquid on a counter says, “Ooh, free samples.” Second Panel: It is revealed that we are in a doctor’s waiting room. A nurse has appeared and looks disturbed by the empty sample pot. The man sits happily with an off-white mark around his mouth.

The polls are open. Remember that politicians are servants of the people. Today thousands of them across the UK are asking for your vote.
Your vote is precious; it grants power and it removes it.
Use it and remind them never to take it, or you, for granted. #GE2024
