Australian education union enquiring into John Tan's suspension
Listen to this article
When it was announced last week that Australian James Cook University's Singapore campus suspended SDP's John Tan from his teaching post, it touched off a little firestorm in JCU's hometown in northern Australia. The Australian Broadcasting Corporation's radio service did an interview with Mr Tan as well as Mr Peter Walley-Thomson, an official of the National Tertiary Education Union in Australia.
In his interview which follows Mr Tan's, Mr Walley-Thomson said that "a lot of nasty things have been said about James Cook University - about lack of integrity, about kangaroo academics, all sorts of things that we're very concerned, Townsville's and Cairns' employees are very concerned it's damaging the reputation of James Cook University."
