Case Summary

The claimant brought claims of direct discrimination on the grounds of race and/or religion against the University of Nottingham in relation to not being shortlisted and not being selected for the position of Assistant Professor in Physics and Astronomy. The tribunal found the claims of discrimination in the shortlisting and reserve list stages to be well founded, but dismissed the claim of discrimination in the final selection.

Why this outcome?

One claim dismissed on the merits

The tribunal found that the university discriminated against the claimant on grounds of race and/or religion in the shortlisting and reserve list stages, making those claims well founded, but determined that the final selection decision was not discriminatory and therefore dismissed that element of the claim.
