Quarter of Lund’s female staff have been harassed

Unwanted sexual contact still a problem at university, with students suffering most, survey shows

A survey has found that one in four women working at Lund University have experienced sexual harassment during their employment—most often from another employee.

The survey, part of the Tellus research programme initiated in 2018, found that most often the harassment happened on university premises. Female students, the survey found, experienced even higher rates of sexual harassment, with 27 per cent saying it had happened to them during their time at Lund.
