Goldsmiths, University of London has reinstated two academics who were suspended after emailing students to warn them about the potential impact of a marking boycott on their ability to graduate.
Des Freedman and Gholam Khiabany, the head and deputy head of the department of media, communications and cultural studies, were found to have “no case to answer” after an independent investigation into their conduct.
They had been suspended from their leadership roles for 115 days for sending an email to students in their department in the midst of a dispute over redundancies at the arts, humanities and social sciences institution, located in south-east London.
