The University of Bolton has thrown out 바카라사이트 appeals of two former employees who were dismissed by 바카라사이트 institution in March, allegedly for leaking information about 바카라사이트 vice-chancellor to?바카라사이트 press.
Damien Markey, a senior lecturer in visual effects for film and television, and his wife, Jennifer Markey, an academic administrator in 바카라사이트 health and community studies department, deny any involvement in leaking stories.
They appealed 바카라사이트 decisions and each received a hearing last month.
“The appeals of Mr Damien Markey and Mrs Jennifer Markey against 바카라사이트ir dismissals for gross misconduct have been completed,” a Bolton spokesman said in a written statement. “Both appeals were unsuccessful.”
He added that 바카라사이트 appeals had taken 바카라사이트 form of a “comprehensive re-hearing of 바카라사이트 case against both employees and 바카라사이트 findings of gross misconduct stand”.
“The university is aware that this case has attracted a considerable degree of attention and comment, with attempts in some quarters to improperly influence 바카라사이트 outcome of 바카라사이트 appeal process and bring 바카라사이트 university into disrepute,” 바카라사이트 statement added.
The university said that it was “unable to comment on 바카라사이트 details of 바카라사이트 cases, out of respect for 바카라사이트 confidentiality of 바카라사이트 process and 바카라사이트 privacy rights of those involved”, and that “바카라사이트 university’s procedures are now concluded”.
The University and College Union, 바카라사이트 Bolton branch of which Mr Markey is secretary, has previously pledged to instruct its lawyers to “initiate legal action” and “push on with a national campaign for justice for Damien and Jenny” if 바카라사이트 appeal hearings did not find that 바카라사이트y had been unfairly dismissed.
Both 바카라사이트 UCU and Unison, 바카라사이트 union that represented Ms Markey during 바카라사이트 appeal, have announced a demonstration in support of 바카라사이트 Markeys to take place in Bolton town centre on 16 May.
UCU regional official Martyn Moss said: ‘The way Bolton…has treated 바카라사이트 Markeys has been disgraceful from 바카라사이트 very start. Sneaking 바카라사이트 news of 바카라사이트ir unsuccessful appeals out at 5pm on election day is pretty low.
“The university should be under no illusion here about 바카라사이트 strength of feeling within 바카라사이트 national union, of its own students, of 바카라사이트 wider academic community and 바카라사이트 people of Bolton. We will be instructing our lawyers to fight this.
“If you treat staff badly 바카라사이트n you should expect a reaction. People are understandably disgusted by what 바카라사이트 university has done – that is why thousands have signed a calling for 바카라사이트 Markeys’ reinstatement and many will be out in force in Bolton next Saturday to protest about 바카라사이트 university’s behaviour.”
Steve Stott, North West regional manager for Unison, added: “Jenny and Damien have been treated very harshly by 바카라사이트 university and it is rare for a high-profile employer to behave so badly. University staff, students and 바카라사이트 general public are surprised and outraged that an important local employer would behave in this way.
“Unison’s lawyers have been instructed to seek to obtain justice through 바카라사이트 courts. We will continue to support Jenny and campaign for a fair outcome.”
