A Cambridge University professor 'bullied and harassed a junior female colleague and told her to 'sit down woman' and 'shut up' in a row over a report into Gonville and Caius College's links to slavery'.

Joe Herbert, 86, is accused of engaging in 'unwanted behaviour in the form of bullying and harassment related to the protected characteristic of sex' by junior colleague Bronwen Everill over discussions that took place over the report.

His behaviour is understood to have included repeatedly 'shushing' during a meeting in which he objected to the report, allegedly also telling Ms Everill to 'sit down woman' and 'shut up'.
