Edinburgh University tops league table for claims of 'sexual impropriety'

The University of Edinburgh has recorded more claims of “ sexual impropriety ” than any other Scottish institution over the five years, according to new figures.

Students and staff at the Capital’s most prestigious learning establishment have reported 76 accusations of misconduct against fellow learners or colleagues since 2016, data from a Freedom of Information (FOI) request has revealed.

It means the University is responsible for almost 20 per cent of all allegations recorded by similar higher education centres across the country over the same time period.
