The 62-year-old's application was turned down because she did not meet the promotion criteria and it was 'unconnected to her sex'.
A FEMALE academic has lost her sex discrimination fight against one of Scotland's oldest universities but the institution has been urged to review its promotion procedures.
Commenting on the ruling, the Glasgow-based academic said she was"disappointed but not surprised given that few women win sex discrimination cases". His decision was backed by the College Promotions Committee and the Board of Review who declined her application. In the 2020 professor promotion round, women had an 83% success rate against esteem compared with 95% for men.Ms Findlay, who represented herself at the tribunal, said she had received no mentoring, while male colleagues had received informal support.
The tribunal judge said the fact that another woman had been made a professor of economics"defeated" the sex discrimination case.The tribunal was told that prior to her application in October 2020 she was appointed a fellow of the Royal Society of Arts, in March 2021 she was made vice president of UCU Scotland and in April 2021 she was elected to the Generalof the Scottish Economic Society. Her manager said this meant she had now met the criteria for esteem.
