Cambridge college under rape investigation

A leading college at UK's Cambridge University is under investigation over claims of disgraceful behaviour taking place in its halls, including jokes about rape and racism.

St. John's College at the world-famous university is accused of continuing to operate banned drinking societies and disciplinary action is expected if reports are confirmed. "The vast majority of our students are extremely hard- working young people who behave and drink responsibly.

Unfortunately, we are currently investigating claims that a very small number of them have become involved with drinking societies. "These societies are banned under college rules because of the culture and behaviour that they promote and, if the claims turn out to be true, disciplinary action will follow," a college spokesperson told The Telegraph.

While exclusive drinking societies are banned under college rules, students continue to throw such parties which allegedly lead to jokes about non-consensual sex, according to student newspaper 'The Tab'. Rowan Douglas, a student who founded Cambridge for Consent, said: "This behaviour is typical of an attitude so prevalent at Cambridge. It's an attitude which reveals an astounding disregard and disrespect for women."
