Hi,
Should the college and its employees not be concerned with providing
education because that is the reason you are there for, and this is the
purpose you received the CV for? I mean we can all have reasons not to
like someone because of something they do or may appear to have done
that goes against our values. I guess politicians do it all the time
... so maybe that makes it right for everyone else ... etc.
Therefore, would it be fair if I reported you because I find impossible
to read http://www.jmc.ac.uk/ (and fair enough if I was looking for a
course) but in this instance I decided to look because I could not
figure out what JMC stood for. Add to that, report you without
answering your Q on DP :-)
Me thinks you should stick to the "purpose" for which you received the
CV and let the other authorities do their duty. Further, spend some
time fixing the site - which is not hypothetical - to meet the
accessibility (now legal) requirements. Black text on blue, blue links
on blue background, if anyone manages to apply to you for a course the
last thing you want to do - tell your colleague - is to report them to
the authorities :-)
Friday yet?
Regards
Charles
PS. Of course the student could have "lied" in his/her CV trying to make
it more impressive, query him/her on that and see if they are willing to
amend their CV to be more honest.
