Can I add my support for Richard? It is almost criminal to question his integrity because his commitment to his school and his students is beyond compare. Unfortunately, it doesn’t follow that justice will be done and that Richard will be reinstated with a full apology.
In the meantime, much of the outstanding work that Richard and his colleagues have done to raise the international profile of IST as a school of excellence is now under threat. I don’t suppose I’m the only one to have advised a staff room colleague against applying for a new teaching post at IST.
Best wishes, Richard. You won’t be out of a job for long.
