Fury at Concordia captain’s panic management talk

A university professor is facing a disciplinary hearing after inviting the captain of the shipwrecked Costa Concordia cruise liner to lecture students on emergency procedures.

Luigi Frati, the dean of Sapienza University in Rome, expressed anger at the professor’s decision to invite Francesco Schettino to give a seminar, calling it an “inappropriate and unworthy choice”.

Mr Frati said he was turning the matter over to an ethics committee.
