Cambridge Whistleblower Wins Tribunal After University Retaliated Instead of Investigating His Complaints

A tribunal ruled Cambridge "did not even want to consider" astronomer Prof Wyn Evans's complaints under its own whistleblowing policy after he raised concerns about treatment of female staff. The panel upheld 11 of 14 detriments, calling the university's near-two-year investigation "baseless" and retaliatory. The ruling carries implications for how UK universities handle protected disclosures under the Public Interest Disclosure Act 1998.
