An apology to him would also be in order.<br /><br />Let's hope the governors will at last investigate this cruel and out-of-control management. It's time to clean up Manchester Metropolitan University.<br /><br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28080901.post-81223492558870959372012-10-08T09:11:44.158+00:002012-10-08T09:11:44.158+00:00An international petition is growing by the minute...An international petition is growing by the minute:<br />http://www.change.org/en-GB/petitions/ian-parker-should-get-back-to-his-work#shareSophienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28080901.post-1919097610744365702012-10-08T07:35:36.993+00:002012-10-08T07:35:36.993+00:00As Chair of MMU UCU I am utterly astounded by this...As Chair of MMU UCU I am utterly astounded by this decision - we are doing everything we can to fight this latest development. Meanwhile spread the word and drench the MMU authorities with messages of protest.

I work at MMU and I have watched the university being destroyed by out-of-control managers and a HR dept that belongs to the Stalinist era. <br />Also ask the Vice Chancellor John Brooks what happened to Dr Claudius D'Silva - another one of the disappeared whose career has been destroyed. His race discrimination case is also on this site. <br />Ask the Chancellor Dianne Thompson CEO of Camelot Group of Companies, responsible for operating the UK National Lottery, how proud she feels to represent such an institution. Speak up Dianne - the academic robes come with responsibilities. <br />Sophienoreply@blogger.com
