Current Situation: Mr D’s actions re. mandatory disciplinary procedures






As Deputy Vice Chancellor (Deputy Director), Director of Staffing, you appear to have been given unprecedented authority over a senior lecturer’s academic tenure, employment situation and employment/ livelihood prospects since 1998, and with no opposition from the unions or English legal profession, and in contravention of the University’s mandatory procedures, Articles of Government and relevant Statutory Acts. We wonder why?
Your actions continue to the present day and include:

2) improper implementation of improper disciplinary procedures against a senior lecturer whom you know is being bullied and victimised on account of his/her raising of a grievance which has still not been addressed or remedied. The letter informing him/her of disciplinary action and sent to his/her home address is not properly referenced/authorised, contains no enclosures about procedures or appeals, and has not been withdrawn. In contravention of mandatory and statutory procedures, it was written before hearing him/her and before a full investigation. The disciplinary procedures have still not been completed and the senior academic has still not been heard on all matters, including the improper suspension and his/her grievance raised immediately prior to the suspension (see enclosures)
