I'm glad to hear that some schools have good internal mechanisms and a nontoxic culture, but unfortunately I suspect this is not the case in general.

In my case (a top school in the USA), even with copious and explicit evidence of misconduct, and a history of student complaints against my advisor, whistleblowing was a year-long nightmare during which the administration consistently backed the professor.
