Academic takes Bristol to tribunal over ‘grant income sacking’

I sincerely hope she wins and that this case gets attention. It is a really bad development that universities are essentially exporting their judgement to 3rd parties by relying on success in grants brought in. Everybody knows that getting in research funding is to a substantial amount luck and the willingness to follow fads. Universities should not be allowed to use 3rd party judgement in their own decisions about the value and merit of researcher's scientific contributions.
