In 2022–2023, student protests led to controversy when it was reported that the University had hired a private investigator to monitor participants. Additionally, staff members have reported experiencing a culture of racism, particularly affecting individuals of African and South Asian origin.

.The Court ruled the University's disciplinary process was inappropriate calling it an "extreme penalty" and found that the University's disciplinary procedures were flawed and unfair to

the student.
