The BBC has learned Edinburgh university still employs a lecturer who was investigated for harassment.
Students are calling for an overhaul of the University of Edinburgh's "awful" complaints procedure, which they say is enabling sexual misconduct among students and staff.
The university said it would not comment on individual cases, that it took complaints about students and staff very seriously and had processes to investigate reports thoroughly. The woman alleges he then asked to come to her flat with alcohol, before saying he had slept with "six, maybe seven" students at another university where he previously taught.
The BBC has been told several members of staff in the lecturer's department wrote a letter to the university expressing concerns about the complaints process. On one occasion, after a break-up when she was "really upset", she said he took her back to his flat where he groped and sexually assaulted her.
"I just crumbled", the woman said. "I'd been so confident in everything I'd submitted - I'd had 15 witness statements from earlier in the night proving how drunk I was. Kate Wilson, Kirsten Hay, Ash Scholz, Hope Conway-Gebbie and a number of others want to help improve consent education and tackle "rape culture" on university campuses.
