BARTLETT WHISTLEBLOWING | UCL ANNOUNCE HOWLETT BROWN AS INVESTIAGTORS

After 6 months since UCL first announced they would appoint an external investigator, UCL finally released a statement announcing that Howlett Brown had been appointed as the investigators. This announcement came in anticipation of the release of more major articles by the Architects' Journal and Dezeen which state that in the 6 months since the Guardian article the number of accusers against the Bartlett had increased from 21 to over 70. This undoubtedly put UCL under pressure to finally appoint an investigator: https://www.ucl.ac.uk/bartlett/news/2021/oct/independent-investigation-set-culture-and-behaviours-bartlett-school-architecture

Also this month Will Ing wrote the below article announcing that UCL are looking for a new Director of the Bartlett. This follows their announcement in September that they were searching for a new Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Director.
