Imperial College
From LGBT Archive
Imperial College London is a university based in South Kensington, London. It was founded in 1907, by amalgamating a number of separate institutions. It was part of London University until 1907, when it became fully independent.[1] It claims to be "the only university in the UK to focus exclusively on science, medicine, engineering and business." Its main building occupies the site of the Imperial Institute. Its medical faculty is partly based at Charing Cross Hospital.
In 2024 a report by the Committee for Academic Freedom (CAF), a group of academics worried about the erosion of free speech on campus, found that under definitions of transphobia in nine university policies, academics who believe that transgender women are not women are considered transphobic. Imperial College was one of the 9 universities [2].
