Bullying by WITT management
Alfred Vella made this Official Information request to Western Institute of Technology at Taranaki
This request has an unknown status. We're waiting for Alfred Vella to read a recent response and update the status.
From: Alfred Vella
Dear Western Institute of Technology at Taranaki,
In 2000 three members of staff at the University of Luton independently complained to that University about bullying by the same senior manager. The case was found for at least one member of staff.
The bully also eventually left the university but moved to other senior posts in academia including at WIT.
All of the complainants left the University soon after – two being sacked.
Questions:
1) Did the University of Luton inform WIT about the bully?
2) What did WIT do to prevent the possibility of bullying continuing at WIT?
3) What part, if any, did alleged connections of the bully to the UK’s Labour party play in WITs actions?
4) The bully was alleged to have bullied staff at WIT. What was done about this?
Thanks
Dr Alfred Vella
Formerly Head of Computing then,
Head of Computing and Information Systems then
Associate Dean Computing Research and Development
The University of Luton
Yours faithfully,
Alfred Vella
