The students speak (II)

So far there is an account of a meeting, at which unspeakable breaches of "duty of care" are implemented by management in order to secure a case against a staff member. Today let's look at

1. The class rep's view of events. As it happened, he was at the meeting.

2. The further pressure put on two students, as described in yesterday's post. Had they done what was asked, and agreed to incriminate me, no doubt DCU management would have done them a few favours. No-one should send their kids to DCU until the rule of law is established there.

If anyone from outside Ireland who reads this wonders why no criminal charges have been filed, it is because that this behavior reflects a powerful criminal interest group within Irish society. We did get the case brought up, repeatedly, in parliament. The answer was that this sort of behavior is no-one's business except management's, and they can do whatever they want. Many of these proceedings are quoted elsewhere on the blog. This is of course BS; however criminal investigations are routinely stopped by political pressure in Ireland. A previous such - that of theft of research money at DCU, again brought up in Parliament - was also thwarted.

Surely, then, the thing to do is contact the President? He has kids of his own, nicht wahr? He surely would see the potential for destruction of lives of the students by the behavior of the likes of Grey, Smeaton, Morris and Verbruggen??
