The UK’s Charity Commission is looking into a college at the University of Oxford that kept a professor in a prestigious emeritus role for six years after an internal university investigation found he had harassed a female student.
The Commission is “aware of concerns relating to the governance” of New College, one of the most famous parts of Oxford, according to a statement issued to Bloomberg.
