Ok - in short - what you say is my only argument could be: "you will have to provide a convincing argument for why someone should employ you after this dismissal".
Do you have any other suggestions?

No. I said that nothing you have outlined here constitutes a winning case, and if you are going to go down the route of a tribunal you need something more credible than you have presented.

For someone that would argue they come from a scientific/logical discipline, you do not seem to be approaching this in that manner. There are laws here, just as there are in sciences. Those laws have been explained to you in great detail by three pages worth of posters. Yet you continue to believe those laws will apply otherwise to you. That is not logical.

If you cannot come up with a persuasive case then you will not win the tribunal, and losing the tribunal could do even more damage. What are your options at that point are up to you to decide. But fighting a case that you cannot evidence simply for the sake of fighting is not going to prove you innocent of these offences.

Are you sure of that? Universities holds intellectual property. I am amazed that giving a total stranger access to the whole system wouldn't be seen as gross misconduct. You might never had read the policy, it doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

As always, very detailed response from sangie who knows it all better than any of us.

I really wanted to sympathise with the OP, until I read the bit about repeatedly revealing his (oh I have assumed there! ?her) password.

Lecturing spaces are fully booked all the time at my place of work, I fully appreciate the need to be speedy, and I accept (just/possibly) that it might happen once.

Without a doubt, as a repeat offence, it would be GM where I work. No question.

To FBaby:
Failure to secure my psswd cannot count as gross misconduct.

Of course it can. And often is.

And it is not "if accepted" - IT IS a software problem - I created a trial survey and it results in the same flawed results.

But the issue is not "flawed results" - it is that someone using your IP address entered false evaluations. That isn't a software flaw. That is fraud/ falsification or whatever. A flaw is the programme giving you the wrong results from correctly entered data. You got the right results from falsified data. Not at all the same thing. What are you teaching your students?
