Jane Challenger-Gillett breathed in and then spat at officers who attended her home in Roundhill Terrace, Brighton.What sort of lowlife, uneducated scum wou...
Oh.
The University of Brighton senior lecturer...Well, I suppose it explains a lot about Brighton students...
...also known as Jane Challenger-Gillitt, appeared before Brighton Magistrates’ Court and admitted two offences. It was revealed she was in breach of a community order for abusing and assaulting officers who responded to a disturbance in October.So surely that sentence should have read 'ex-senior lecturer'..?
Challenger-Gillett, 55, is a senior lecturer in computing, engineering and maths at the university.Good grief!
But she was spared a prison sentence because she is the sole carer for a “vulnerable” partner and has been battling an alcohol problem.It sounds as though she can't care for herself, let alone anyone else:
Previously she appeared in court in September 2018 for failing to provide a breath test when suspected of drink-driving. She also assaulted a police officer, and was given a 20-week suspended prison sentence alongside a driving ban.
Then she also appeared back in court in October for breaching a restraining order by brandishing a knife and shouting at a neighbour.Why is she not in a mental hospital, or old fashioned 'drying out' clinic?
At least she's not lecturing in law
ReplyDeleteIf there are any awards for the abysmal decline of academic standards, Blair and Labour earned them. Ms Hyphen Gillett's conduct is shocking. Most of the lecturers I knew would never lower themselves to spit on police.
ReplyDeleteAh well, now we know why so many engineers are a dismal failure if other 'engineering' lecturers are like her. Don't they say, those that can, do. Those that can't, teach and those that can't teach become civil servants.
ReplyDeleteIt is a thing among old engineers who did an apprenticeship. I spent a fair amount of my working life fixing things that had already been repaired by people with an engineering degree.
DeleteWhy with a record like this isn't this person serving a custodial sentence? Just how much is the community supposed to tolerate of this kind of behaviour? You surly can't plead your a carer as a get out of jail forever card, or can you?
ReplyDeleteWhat next in Brighton? Gary Glitter instructing on child care?

Ivan,
ReplyDelete... those who can't teach teach teachers to teach. Those who can't teach teachers become OFSTED inspectors.
As soon as I see Brighton I stop reading.
ReplyDeleteHard to tell from the article, but I do wonder what particular "protected" characteristics this mad cow has that make her un-sackable. Is this "partner" of hers (the drunk) of the knob or fanny persuasion, perhaps its one of those that is unsure? Is she of one of the myriad shades of brown that seem to make any question of competence secondary? She doesn't sound like a 'slim but she might be a convert of course.
ReplyDeleteIt's perfectly possible of course, that with all the gobbing and waving knives about, they may just be too frightened to sack her!
"At least she's not lecturing in law"
ReplyDeleteHeh! But would we be surprised if she had been?
"If there are any awards for the abysmal decline of academic standards, Blair and Labour earned them."
That they did...pity the so-called 'Tories' didn't seem capable of reversing it, eh?
"Don't they say, those that can, do. Those that can't, teach and those that can't teach become civil servants."
LOL!
"I spent a fair amount of my working life fixing things that had already been repaired by people with an engineering degree."
Good grief!
"... I do wonder what particular "protected" characteristics this mad cow has that make her un-sackable. "
The academic world seems particularly 'good' at protecting its own. Rather like the Mafia.
