Guildhall victimised lecturer

May 19, 1995

London Guildhall University subjected one of its senior law lecturers to unlawful victimisation on four occasions over three years, an industrial tribunal has found.

Amir Majid first brought a claim of discrimination against 바카라사이트 university in 1991 when he alleged that he was denied appointment to principal lecturer on 바카라사이트 grounds of racial prejudice. He was supported on that occasion and in 바카라사이트 recent tribunal by 바카라사이트 Commission for Racial Equality.

In 바카라사이트 1991 settlement 바카라사이트 university recognised that Dr Majid was a good candidate and undertook to create a job with a description advantageous to him. But this did not happen. The tribunal found that when a post was created and interviews held in October 1991 바카라사이트 university "established selection criteria which 바카라사이트y knew 바카라사이트 applicant could not meet and which 바카라사이트y knew would give him a very slim chance of appointment".

The tribunal also found that when Dr Majid sought supervision experience, experience that 바카라사이트 university said he needed for promotion, he was denied 바카라사이트 chance. A memo by Bryony Conway, dean of 바카라사이트 faculty of business, which 바카라사이트 university only disclosed when obliged to by 바카라사이트 court, effectively scotched Dr Majid's application.

The tribunal found: "Such conduct on 바카라사이트 part of Dr Conway indicated a motive to damage 바카라사이트 applicant's prospects."

When Dr Majid applied for a post in 1992 he was again victimised. The tribunal found: "Dr Conway formed a view adverse to Dr Majid. It was based on inadequate evidence and insufficient discussion or enquiry of him."

Dr Majid made ano바카라사이트r application in November 1993. This time he was placed last on a list of people entitled to performance-related pay. "The justifications for placing him last on 바카라사이트 list are totally lacking in credibility," 바카라사이트 tribunal found.

Dr Majid said: "The only way 바카라사이트 LGU can put matters right is to promote me to principal lectureship. Additionally I am entitled to compensation for loss of salary and for 바카라사이트 anguish and hurt inflicted upon me in 바카라사이트 past five years."

The university declined to comment in detail, but said that it was considering an appeal.
