(MENAFN) Alice Irving woke up in a stranger's bed after a night out drinking during her second year as a graduate student.
She says she had been in no fit state to give consent but that the police and her university did not take her rape complaint seriously enough.
She says the police later apologised for failing to investigate.
New guidelines now urge universities to take a zero-tolerance approach to sexual violence and harassment, with better support for students.
