Minister Halfon responds to OfS press release on on sexual misconduct

Minister for Skills, Apprenticeships and Higher Education Robert Halfon said:

“Sexual harassment and misconduct has no place in our world-class universities and, on behalf of every student, I welcome the drive and support from the OfS in tackling this issue.

“In April, we launched a pledge to stop the immoral use of Non-Disclosure Agreements by universities to silence victims of sexual harassment and bullying.

“So far, 74 institutions – covering over 1.5 million students - have signed our pledge and we expect all remaining providers to do the right thing for their students and sign it too.”
