University College London has launched a review into the Bartlett School of Architecture after ex-students came forward with allegations of sexist and racist treatment.
The prestigious London school said it was "aware of the issues" raised by former student Eleni Kyriacou, who compiled a dossier containing testimonials from 21 people.
These drew a picture of "a sexist culture" at the school, which is part of University College London, the Guardian has reported.
"We will investigate," says school
"We have been aware of issues in the Bartlett school of architecture and have been working hard to address them for some time," said Sasha Roseneil, UCL's pro vice-provost for equity and inclusion.
"We are deeply concerned to learn about these incidents, and we will investigate these, and any others that are brought to our attention." Top and above: The Bartlett campus is at 22 Gordon Street in London
The Barlett is an architecture school at University College London (UCL). Its facilities are located at 22 Gordon Street in Bloomsbury, London.
Allegations include female students being sexually harassed by staff, driven to tears and subjected to derogatory comments about their race.
Witnesses described a staff member telling a student "your work is very sexy and so are you" in one case, and a separate incident where a student of colour was told she "acted and spoke like a white person".
