University of London accused of ignoring series of sexual assaults against students in halls 

THE University of London (UoL) has been accused of ignoring a series of sexual assaults against students in its halls. 

The allegations come as students at UoL intercollegiate halls prepare to withhold rent next month as part of a nationwide university rent strike — predicted to be the largest in over four decades. 

Strike organiser Emerson Murphy told the Morning Star that the university has been “negligent when it comes to protecting the mental health and wellbeing of students living in halls.”
