New Zealand Herald: Wrongly sacked lecturer’s career ‘ruined’ – friend

A university lecturer’s career was ruined when he was wrongly sacked over an offensive email to a student, a former student and friend said today.

The Employment Relations Authority (ERA) yesterday ruled Dr Paul Buchanan was unjustifiably dismissed from Auckland University last July.

It awarded him $51,000 in lost wages and $15,000 for hurt and humiliation.
