Cambridge Punished Whistleblower Instead of Investigating, Court Rules

A court ruled Cambridge University retaliated against astronomer Prof Wyn Evans instead of investigating his complaints about how female staff were treated. The panel upheld 11 of 14 charges, calling the school's near-two-year probe baseless. The case could change how UK universities protect whistleblowers — people who report wrongdoing and are legally shielded from punishment.
