This is the first paragraph of an item from the London-based Institute for
Science in Society which may be of interest especially to anyone who didn't
know a university could overrule a court:
Dr. Ted Steele, senior academic and researcher in Wollongong University,
well known for pioneering work in immunogenetics, was dismissed without
warning and without pay more than a year ago. The legal battle to reinstate
him has continued to this day. In the latest hearing, the Federal Court
Judge Murray Wilcox expressed shock at the University's behaviour, the
sacked academic is treated 'worse than a murderer'. Steele won his case,
but to his dismay discovers he will be re-instated, only to be immediately
dismissed again. Please write to express your support. Dr. Mae-Wan Ho
updates on this crucial battle for independent science and scientists.
