Oxford University Student Commits Suicide Due to University’s Cancel Culture

An Oxford University student, Alexander Rogers, committed suicide after reportedly being ostracized due to ‘cancel culture’ within the college community. This exclusion is seen as characteristic of a pervasive cancel culture at the institution.

Alexander Rogers, a 20-year-old materials science student at Corpus Christi College, ended his life in January following peer ostracization over an undisclosed allegation. Following a two-day inquest at Oxford Coroner’s Court, coroner Nicholas Graham ruled that the ostracization led Rogers to take his own life. Previously, Rogers had expressed remorse to friends for actions he believed were unintentional yet unforgivable, shortly before his body was discovered in the River Thames.

The tragic death of Alexander Rogers is still an extreme example of what can happen, but ‘cancel culture’ is a vile game and wholly inconsistent with any academic life. pic.twitter.com/ONMs8JN8qo

Dr. Dominique Thompson, an independent consultant who investigated the case, identified the student’s exclusion as resulting from a “pile-on” effect, where students collectively turned against Rogers, adhering to an “unwritten” moral code to act rightly. This behavior, she noted, typifies the cancel culture prevalent in such academic settings.

In response, the university has acknowledged the findings and is actively addressing the recommendations from the review. Oxford University and Corpus Christi College have expressed their deepest sympathies to Rogers’ family and have initiated an independent review to prevent such tragedies in the future.

Additionally, a prevention of future death report has been submitted to the Department of Education to address the issue of ‘cancel culture’ in higher education.

Rogers’ family has stressed the importance of recognizing the harmful effects of social ostracization to prevent similar future tragedies.
