Four students win compensation from ‘incompetent’ university management
“INCOMPETENT” Sussex University will be forced to fork out £10,000 to four student protesters in compensation for their “distressing” victimisation.
The Office of the Independent Adjudicator for Higher Education (OIA) ruled yesterday that the university had not “followed a fair procedure” when it suspended Michael Segalov, Lewis Nielsen, Hichem Maafi and Adriano Marotta.
