UCC  lecturer claims sexual harassment inquiry ‘unfair’

Behavioural science lecturer Dr Dylan Evans, 43, says the inquiry failed to take into account or interview another woman whom, he says, was also present when he showed the paper to School of Medicine colleague Dr Salerno Kennedy.

In judicial review proceedings which opened yesterday, Dr Evans is seeking to quash the inquiry findings and subsequent sanctions imposed on him, including a two-year period of monitoring and training. UCC denies his claims.
