... yet more sl...Comment from Times Higher blog...<br /><br />... yet more sleaze is seeping out surrounding this case<br /><br />Dr. Know 4 August, 2009<br /><br />Dr Cairns has been fortunate in raising the issue of MMU's blatant failure to maintain academic standards under the Leadership of the Vice-Chancellor John Brooks, without being the subject of a prolonged bullying, harrassment and victimisation campaign by this University which his predecessor Dame Sandra Burslem practised on many members of its staff. <br /><br />The University since her departure has spent over a million pounds on one case to overturn its decision which was obtained without the claimant or his witnesses attending. see http://cemkumar.googlepages.com/manchestermetropolitanuniversityseniorma. <br /><br />One million pounds buys a lot of judges and their complicity in breaching the claimant's Human Rights is before the European Courts. <br /><br />The Tribunal bundles in the 2005 case are relevant to the University's denial of bumping marks as documents where coursework marks had been raised by over 50% in the case of some students to allow them to pass were presented as well as documents that the University had falsified - statements stating that students had sat exams when they had not. <br /><br />The information is in the public domain and we are willing to provide the documentaion for publication to address the University's denial or to a Parlimentary Committee if one was set up to deal with the Issue.<br /><br />***********************************<br /><br />SO...<br /><br />...the level of corruption in our universities appears to be in line with that in the banks and the police and politicians...<br /><br />...it might have to be the revolution...<br /><br />...except we are all so busy...<br /><br />In solidarity and grateful thanks to the courage, creativity and integrity of the staff on the Times Higher...<br /><br />... which must be due for a change of management pretty soon I would have thought...<br /><br />Aphra BehnAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
