University of Sussex fined £585k in free speech row

The University of Sussex has been fined £585,000 by the higher education regulator, the Office for Students (OfS), for failing to uphold freedom of speech.
It follows the case of Prof Kathleen Stock, who left the university in 2021 after being accused of transphobia for her views on sex and gender issues.
The OfS criticised the university’s policy statement on Trans and Non-Binary equality, saying its requirement to “positively represent trans people” and an assertion that “transphobic propaganda [would] not be tolerated” could lead staff and students to “self-censor”.
The University of Sussex plans to challenge the OfS findings legally, Vice-Chancellor Prof Sasha Roseneil said.
