Dear All
Chris Brand, who Alan Truelove seems to think was 'dumped on' by
Edinburgh University was sacked for 'gross misconduct' after being
found guilty unanimously by a disciplinary tribunal. He was dismissed
because of his views and statements on paedophilia - views that I would
hope that even Alan Truelove would not support?
Chris Brand's academic colleagues at the Edinburgh University issued
the following statement;
At its Staff Meeting earlier today, the twenty academic staff present
unanimously approved the following statement:
"Mr Chris Brand's views on sex, race and paedophilia, as reported in
the press and on his web home page, in no way represent the views of
the Psychology Department, whose members wish to disassociate
themselves wholly from such views."
Staff were also strongly of the view that this statement should be made
public at the earliest opportunity. Colleagues felt that their position
should be made immediately known to the rest of the University, to
students, the parents of students who have expressed concern, and to
parents of children in the Departmental Nursery.
Best wishes
Dave Gordon
