Following a weekend exposé in Der Spiegel, the conservatoire published a statement today by its president, Bernd Redman, promising to clarify allegations of sexual assault and to take measures to protect its personnel.

The statement does not respond to Der Spiegel’s claim that it suppressed an internal survey showing sexual assault to be endemic. According to the article, 115 out of 800 academic staff said that they had heard ‘lewd remarks’, 56 had experienced lewd gestures’, 34 had been groped, nine had been shown genitalia, eight had been coerced into sexual acts, and one rape had been reported.
