Bullying expert takes case over alleged harassment

An international expert on bullying has himself claimed to be a victim of bullying in his job.

Professor Keith Sullivan has taken a case to the Employment Appeals Tribunal over the refusal of NUI Galway to grant him an extension to his employment after he reached his 65th birthday.

His legal team told the tribunal in Galway that such extensions were “habitually” given to other professors when they reached 65.
