The winner of Britain’s “horniest pupil” competitors is dealing with disciplinary action from her university, reports the Exeposé pupil paper this week.

The University of Exeter, in which winner Elina Desaine is a student, is worried about the smutty prize damaging its status, says Exeposé.

Friends of Desaine informed the pupil paper that her entry was a joke and that the stories of elaborate sexual conquests have been made up. The competition was run by Shagatuni.com, an on the internet dating web site that called for entrants to describe their sexual conquests.

In her entry, Desaine spoke of possessing sex on university house. Her prize was £500 income and a year’s supply of condoms.

Possible sanctions could contain a fine, neighborhood service, or the signing of a behavioural contract.

The university says that it can’t comment on personal disciplinary circumstances.

Report on ‘underhanding’ at the University of York

The University of York students’ union (Yusu) has surveyed 250 students, and discovered 5 of them had been victims of “underhanding” at clubs in the city in 2013, with a additional 10 saying they’d experienced the identical kind of sexual assault outdoors the location.

Underhanding is when a perpetrator stands behind a girl and tries to insert their fingers into her without having her consent.

Guardian College students reported on it last month, soon after Stephanie Davies-Arai, of the No A lot more Web page 3 campaign, informed us: “At a Feminism in London workshop just lately there were about 70 individuals in the area and when somebody brought this [phrase] up, all the youthful ladies knew what the word meant.”

Sussex suspension lifted

Five Sussex students who have been suspended soon after protests at the university have had their punishments unexpectedly overturned. The so-named Farthing Five – named soon after the vice-chancellor – are no longer banned from the university.

The suspension caused outrage between college students, with an on the web petition reaching above 9,500 signatories, and celebrities – which includes Frankie Boyle and supermodel Cara Delevingne – speaking out towards it.

Following less than ten days, the vice-chancellor Michael Farthing lifted the suspension. He mentioned: “The fast need to have for the suspensions to remain in force has now passed. So I am lifting the suspensions and exclusions with fast impact.”

Michael Segalov, 1 of the 5, described the u-turn as “an crucial achievement” in holding the university management to account.
