Queen Mary University accused of ‘turning students into spies’ to gather data on academics who did not reschedule missed teaching
Queen Mary accused of ‘turning students into spies’ to gather data on academics who did not reschedule missed teachinguniversity has become the first in the country to use a “student snitch form” to encourage students to report striking staff, while threatening to dock full pay for 39 days if those named fail to reschedule missed teaching.
The academic added: “They didn’t have the data to implement their pay docking, so they are trying to turn students into spies. It is destroying the trust you need in the classroom.” The manager said: “It’s absolutely awful. These are people I know and like, and their pay will be deducted. I think about resigning a lot. I only stay because I think then at least I can try to help those targeted.”
