One of Scotland’s oldest universities has admitted that an inquiry identified “sexist and discriminatory” behaviour that “fell short of professional expectations”.

In a written statement, the University of Glasgow apologised to staff and students affected by “unacceptable and distressing incidents” within the medical school and said an action plan will be drawn up.

The institution launched an internal inquiry after a grievance lodged by staff against the head of undergraduate medicine was upheld alleging misogynistic behaviour.
