Universities must ‘lead from the top and create a culture of mutual respect’, says union
The UK’s largest academic union is calling for the resignation of the president of Imperial College London after she admitted to bullying a member of staff at the institution.
In a message sent to staff at the college on 14 December, and published alongside a statement by Imperial the same day, Alice Gast (pictured) said she was “sorry that, at times, I made some senior staff feel unappreciated and left out” and was “very sorry that I bullied someone”.
