Two former students, Claudia Z. and Petra F., have come forward with serious allegations against professors at the University of Basel, claiming they experienced sexual harassment and abuse during their studies. Both women contend that their academic careers were devastated by the professors’ misconduct, which they allege was excused or overlooked by the university. Legal actions and internal investigations have raised questions about the university’s handling of such cases and their commitment to safeguarding students. The university has faced criticism for prioritizing the privacy of the professors over the victims, despite extensive evidence of abuse.
