"An academic who claimed she was unfairly turned down for a promotion because assessors "ignored" the impact of past discrimination on her career trajectory has failed in an equality claim against University of Galway."
"In a decision published today, the Workplace Relations Commission (WRC) has rejected a complaint under the Employment Equality Act 1998 brought by Mary Dempsey, an assistant professor at the university's engineering department."
The Workplace Relations Commission (WRC) rejected a complaint under the Employment Equality Act 1998 brought by Mary Dempsey, an assistant professor in the engineering department at University of Galway. Dempsey claimed she was unfairly turned down for a promotion because assessors ignored the impact of past discrimination on her career trajectory. The complaint asserted that past discrimination had affected her career progression and should have been taken into account during promotion assessment. The WRC examined the claim and found insufficient evidence to uphold an equality breach. The complaint was dismissed and no finding of liability was made against the university.
