Here’s the fourth complaint I’ve seen about Matt Rattley, the Oxford biochemistry lecturer who wore massive fake boobs to work. I’m sharing redacted copies of all four complaints to St Hilda’s College. 28 April 2026 - a parent 1 May 2026 - three alumnae writing jointly 18 May 2026 - a member of the public 8 June 2026 - a second member of the public Four independent complaints in just under six weeks. The alumnae said they had to chase the principal for a reply. The other three complainants received none. St Hilda’s has yet to confirm whether it investigated any of them. I spoke to several Oxford lecturers and a former student on condition of anonymity for my first report for my [Un]Captured site. Since the story hit the national press, things have gone quiet. St Hilda’s has around 700 students and 150 staff. Surely a handful must be brave enough to speak up - even anonymously? Could an ideologically ‘captured’ Junior Common Room committee be holding students back? Its website lists more than 30 members, all of whom give their preferred pronouns in their bios. They include two LGBTQ reps, a trans rep and a ‘wxmen’s’ rep. How comfortable would a student feel raising concerns in such an environment? For staff, perhaps the memory of what happened to St Hilda’s historian Selina Todd still lingers. In 2020, amid hostility over her views on sex and gender, Oxford provided security to accompany her to lectures - after two students alerted her to threats. If my daughter worked or studied at St Hilda’s, I sincerely hope she'd find a few courageous individuals in amongst the 850+ at the college. And that women would find each other and stand in solidarity - just as women like the @DarlingtonUnion and @CUSocOfWomen have. Because women and girls should never be made to feel afraid of sharing their concerns - especially at a university. If you’re a current or former student or member of staff, my inbox is open.

An Oxford insider likened the role to paid freelance teaching, with perks e.g free meals, modest annual retainer.
