flag Professor Alice Sullivan threatens legal action after protesters disrupted her Bristol lecture, citing inadequate free speech protection despite new UK laws.

flag Professor Alice Sullivan, who led a government review on sex and gender data, threatens legal action against the University of Bristol after protesters disrupted her October 2025 lecture, claiming the university failed to protect her free speech despite a new English law strengthening such rights. flag She says demonstrators used loudhailers, triggered fire alarms, and created a hostile atmosphere, forcing a venue change, while the university maintains it ensured safety and upheld free expression. flag The Office for Students has previously penalized universities for free speech concerns, and Sullivan has raised concerns about ideological bias, though the government’s promised complaints process remains unimplemented.
