There are calls for the University of Warwick to do more to make women feel safe on campus.
Around 300 people took part in a sit in protest outside the university, which started yesterday.
A handful are still there today, 24 hours after it started.
The organisers, a group called 'Protect Warwick Women', say women feel "unsafe and unheard" at the university.
They've shared a link for anyone to go and share their experiences.
The University said in a statement:
“Our policy on sexual misconduct is clear – it will not be tolerated.
Individuals who are found to have broken our values, either by the police or by our own comprehensive disciplinary processes, will face sanctions – which include expulsion or withdrawal from the university.
We recognise that there is always more we can do. We wish to thank all those who are working with us to help prevent sexual misconduct and how we deal with those who do not behave appropriately.”
