9. Could be as much of a fuck up as the University of Nottingham and its hounding of staff

The basic story: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nottingham_Two

I won terror compensation, but my struggle for justice continues

The police have been held to account over my arrest and detention as a suspected terrorist, but my university has not

On this day, three years ago, I was asked by the Guardian to write a comment piece on my arrest and detention (and release without charge) as a suspected terrorist whilst I was conducting postgraduate research at the University of Nottingham. Exactly three years later, I am writing about the same issue, but with an element of vindication because only days ago, a three-year legal battle against Nottinghamshire police came to an end, a legal battle that I categorically won.
...
People such as those in positions of power at the University of Nottingham who not only discriminated against me but suspended honourable and brave people such as Dr Rod Thornton because he dared to write a whistle-blowing paper that exposed serious malpractice and misconduct that the University of Nottingham participated in when, for example, they tried to prevent me from proceeding to a PhD. Because there is no public authority in the whole of the United Kingdom that can hold British universities to account, only a public inquiry can reveal the possible extent of malpractice.

The lack of university accountability at Nottingham has ruined my life and many other people's lives over the past three years, and it must be held to account. Until then, the struggle for justice will continue.

All this from downloading something from a website of that extremist group the US government. Dr. Rod Thornton still appears to be suspended from the university (they've removed his staff page), but he continues to work with that extremist group : http://www.strategicstudiesinstitute.army.mil/pubs/people.cfm?authorID=828
