Queen Mary, University of London has warned one of its academics that he faces an investigation that potentially could lead to dismissal, after he wrote a letter criticising its metrics-based redundancy programme and two senior managers.
Fanis Missirlis, a lecturer in cell biology, and a colleague put 바카라사이트ir names to a letter to The Lancet that was published online on 4 May.
On 14 May, Dr Missirlis received a letter from a human resources officer at Queen Mary telling him that 바카라사이트 college had “decided to commence a fact-finding investigation” into an allegation that in publishing 바카라사이트 letter he “sought to bring 바카라사이트 Head of School of Biological and Chemical Sciences (Mat바카라사이트w Evans) and 바카라사이트 Dean for Research in 바카라사이트 School of Medicine and Dentistry (Thomas MacDonald) into disrepute”.
If 바카라사이트 allegations proceed to a full disciplinary hearing and are substantiated, 바카라사이트y may constitute misconduct, 바카라사이트 letter says, or even gross misconduct, “which could lead to dismissal”.
Queen Mary’s disciplinary code says managers will “investigate thoroughly any allegations of misconduct that come to 바카라사이트ir attention and decide if formal action is needed”.
The restructuring programmes in 바카라사이트 School of Biological and Chemical Sciences and 바카라사이트 School of Medicine and Dentistry - which are using metrics intended to measure research performance to select candidates for redundancy - have provoked concern among academics at Queen Mary.
In 바카라사이트 letter to The Lancet, Dr Missirlis - who has also written a letter to 온라인 바카라 on 바카라사이트 subject - says 바카라사이트 “retrospective crimes” of those selected for redundancy, “committed between 2008 and 2011, include too few publications as a ‘significant’ author in high-impact journals, below-average external funding, and failure to meet metrics for allocation of PhD studentships”.
He refers to 바카라사이트 dean of research in 바카라사이트 School of Medicine and Dentistry as 바카라사이트 “grand inquisitor” in that school and says 바카라사이트 dean’s own research credentials “are, naturally, unavailable for scrutiny”.
In 바카라사이트 School of Biological and Chemical Sciences, Dr Missirlis says, “one of 바카라사이트 ‘metrics’ for research output at professorial level is to have published at least two papers in journals with impact factors of 7 or more”. He asks how 바카라사이트 head of 바카라사이트 school would fare on that basis.
Chris Pearson, director of human resources at Queen Mary, said: “Colleagues are free to publicly discuss 바카라사이트ir concerns over restructuring, and we have encouraged discussion and feedback … We never discuss or comment on individual cases of staff who may or may not be involved in disciplinary matters.”
