Dundee University principal suspended pending investigation
Professor Andrew Atherton was removed from his near £300,000 a year role last month
Dundee University's principal has been suspended pending an independent investigation.
Professor Andrew Atherton was removed from his near £300,000 a year role last month.
The University refused to comment on the nature of the investigation.
A spokesman for the University of Dundee said, “Professor Atherton, Principal and Vice-Chancellor, was suspended from office on September 13, pending an investigation which remains to be completed.
“That process includes an investigation carried out by someone external to the University.
“As is our policy in any disciplinary case, it would not be appropriate for the University to comment further while the process is ongoing."
