The University of Oxford has recently dropped its request for anonymity in an employment tribunal over a sexual harassment case. The University had been granted an anonymity order which prevented the media from reporting on the case to protect the University's reputation and the identity of several of its employees.

The Oxford Union Librarian, Brayden Lee, has stepped down from his role after making comments described as "racist" by Oxford Union members in an audio recording shared publicly.

Cherwell has exclusively seen Lee's resignation, sent shortly before 8pm to the President Katherine Yang and the President-Elect.
