An employment tribunal has dismissed the claim that the Babraham Institute and the Institute’s retiring Director (Dr Richard Dyer) discriminated against scientist Dr Prim Singh who had applied for the post of Director of the Babraham Institute.
Babraham had consistently refuted allegations by Dr Prim Singh of racial discrimination and victimisation by not short-listing him for the Babraham post.
Dr Richard Dyer agrees fully with the following BBSRC statement made regarding the case.
“The BBSRC and the Babraham Institute place the highest priority on scientific excellence and research leadership, regardless of researchers’ gender, race, creed, sexual orientation and other personal factors,” said BBSRC Chief Executive, Professor Julia Goodfellow. “We use the judgement of leading researchers in procedures that are recognised and adopted internationally, such as review of the quality and volume of researchers’ published work, and then how well they fit the post description.”
Babraham acknowledges that all members of the Institute should receive regular and timely equal opportunities training and is expanding its training programme forthwith.
