University College London has apologised to current and former students and staff for a “culture of unacceptable behaviour” at its architecture school going back decades.

The apology comes after the university conducted an investigation into complaints of sexism and racism on campus, first reported by the Guardian last year.

“I want to apologise to everyone who has suffered because of the culture of bullying, harassment and sexual misconduct within the Bartlett School of Architecture,” said Michael Spence, UCL’s president and provost, in response to the internal investigation’s findings.
