The Universities UK (UUK) Taskforce report, , has been seen as a turning point in U.K. universities' responses to gender-based violence (GBV). Institutional changes have occurred as a response to grassroots feminist activism and resistance to GBV, focusing on sexual violence, harassment, and "lad culture" in universities. This article will argue that the neoliberal marketization of higher education, concurrent with the persistence of misogyny and patriarchy, creates an environment where GBV is normalized, and feminist voices are marginalized and silenced. Interviews with academics show support for victims/survivors on campus often falls to particular academic staff. When initiatives for change, led by institutional management, are limited to protecting the "reputation" of the university, it furthermore falls on academics to challenge not only GBV, but also the reactive and uncritical responses offered by institutions. We contend that national, institutional, and individual responses to GBV must consider the meaning of "cultural change" beyond policy reform, zero tolerance campaigns, and condemnation of GBV. Attempts to enact true cultural change must analyze the broader issue of sexism, its intersections with further structural issues, and the ways in which this plays out within the neoliberal institution to the detriment of students and staff.
英国大学协会（UUK）特别工作组的报告 被视为英国大学应对基于性别的暴力（GBV）的转折点。作为对基层女权主义激进主义和对 GBV 的抵制的回应，机构发生了变化，重点关注大学中的性暴力、骚扰和“哥们文化”。本文将认为，高等教育的新自由主义市场化，与厌女症和父权制的持续存在，创造了一个将 GBV 正常化的环境，使女权主义声音被边缘化和沉默。对学者的采访表明，校园内对受害者/幸存者的支持通常落在特定的学术人员身上。当机构管理层领导的变革举措仅限于保护大学的“声誉”时，学者们不仅要挑战 GBV，还要挑战机构提供的反应性和非批判性回应。我们认为，对 GBV 的国家、机构和个人反应必须考虑到“文化变革”的含义，而不仅仅是政策改革、零容忍运动和对 GBV 的谴责。要实施真正的文化变革，就必须分析更广泛的性别歧视问题，及其与进一步的结构性问题的交叉点，以及这种问题在新自由主义机构中的表现，因为这对学生和工作人员造成了伤害。
