Last June the university adopted all 22 proposals in a consultant report to improve the way it dealt with reports of sexual assault and harassment, including establishing “an independent integrity unit” (CMM June 25 2021).

The unit, to help students and staff, is also “prioritised for immediate action” in the university’s present strategic plan update.

So how’s the prioritising going, CMM asked the university, which replied yesterday, “a broad-ranging programme of work has been underway to design the implementation of the report’s 22 recommendations, including the process to recruit a director for our Integrity Unit which is currently underway. We expect the unit to be operational by the end of quarter two, 2022.”
