ndtv.com

A recent investigation into the suicide of Oxford University student Alexander Rogers has highlighted issues of "cancel culture" within elite UK institutions. Rogers, 20, was reportedly ostracized by peers after an unreported allegation, leading to his death in January. The coroner's report indicated that this exclusion contributed to Rogers' distress. An independent consultant noted that the situation reflected a broader trend of social ostracization among students, driven by an unwritten moral code. In response, Oxford University has acknowledged the findings and is reviewing its policies to address cancel culture. The university has expressed condolences to Rogers' family and aims to prevent similar incidents in the future.
