A special place in our hearts...

University of Arts, London:
  • 36 Employment Tribunal cases launched against the university since August 2001.
  • including 16 for unfair dismissal
  • 4 on sex discrimination
  • 4 on race discrimination
  • 3 on unspecified discrimination
  • 4 for unlawful deduction of wages
  • 13 cases settled out of court (with appropriate confidentiality clauses)
  • 1 case upheld at the tribunal stage for unlawful deduction.
OK, UCU, do you see a problem here? OK, minister in charge, do you see a problem here? OK, HEFCE, do you see a problem here? OK, HEA, do you see a problem here?

Let us guess, you voiceless agencies, you say: Universities are self-governing bodies and they can look after their own affairs! Obviously they can't! The University of Arts in London is a serial offender, there are others too. Where does one go, and what does one have to do to get justice?
