The first female Oxford Professor of Poetry resigned today following allegations she helped to spread sex slurs about her rival for the post.
Ruth Padel had claimed that she had 'nothing to do' with the smear campaign against Derek Walcott, a former winner of the Nobel prize for literature who was favourite for the job.
But it was revealed that weeks before the vote she sent emails tipping off journalists about two allegations of sexual harassment made against Walcott by female students.
