Hetherington Enquiry Delay

Rob Smith made this Freedom of Information request to University of Glasgow This request has been closed to new correspondence. Contact us if you think it should be reopened.

The request was successful.

Dear University of Glasgow,

It is now the end of August and the findings of the Hetherington enquiry have still not been published so I have one very simple question.

Who authorised university security to attempt the illegal removal of the students from the Hetherington Building, jeapordising their safety and setting off the chain of events that ultimately followed?

It can only have been the Principal and/or the Secretary of Court who would have had sufficient authority to approve this in advance so why the delay and secrecy when an apology is surely more in order?

Yours faithfully,

Rob Smith
