The art teacher who accused Prince Harry of cheating has won her case against Eton College for unfair dismissal.
Sarah Forsyth, 30, took the public school to an employment tribunal after her contract was not renewed. The tribunal yesterday upheld Ms. Forsyth’s claim that she had been bullied by Eton’s head of art, Ian Burke. But it rejected her allegations that Mr. Burke had ordered her to help Prince Harry cheat in his AS-level art by completing his written work for him. It also criticised as " unprofessional" her decision to secretly record a conversation with the prince on his way to his final exam to try to support her claim.
Ms. Forsyth brought the case after the school, which charges £23,688 a year, decided not to renew her contract after the summer of 2003. She also accused Mr. Burke of bullying her and giving improper assistance to pupils during exams. At her hearing in May, Ms. Forsyth claimed she had written most of the text of the prince’s AS-level art coursework journal, something she said was "unethical and probably constituted cheating". She also claimed Mr. Burke "touched up" aboriginal-inspired artwork which was displayed to the media as an example of Prince Harry’s work when the prince finished his time at Eton. The prince has strenuously denied any suggestion that he cheated and an investigation by the examination board found no evidence of any improper behaviour.
In its 40-page judgment, the tribunal said it was for the exam board to rule whether cheating had occurred. While the report described Ms. Forsyth as consistent and "truthful" on the whole, it rejected her allegations about Prince Harry. It ruled that her relationship with Mr. Burke was so bad that it was not plausible that he would have tried to enlist her help in any attempt to cheat. It concluded that her account of the help she had given the prince was muddled and that Mr. Burke’s story was more believable.
She claimed she had written a sample answer for the prince to use as a guide which, in her account, was given to Prince Harry, cut up and stuck in the journal. The tribunal sided with Mr. Burke, who said that Ms. Forsyth had not written the piece on her own but simply sat with Prince Harry and suggested vocabulary.
However, the panel was critical of Mr. Burke and said its "inevitable conclusion" was Ms. Forsyth’s dismissal had been unreasonable. The panel said, "He did undermine and bully her. " Anthony Little, Eton’s headmaster, was criticised for failing to look at the case fairly. The school was criticised for failing to produce any written "capability procedure" to the tribunal.
A spokesman for Eton said the school regretted its employment procedures had not been " up to scratch", but said it was pleased the tribunal had rejected the "publicity-seeking" allegations regarding Prince Harry. He added the school would be calling for the tribunal to award no compensation to Ms. Forsyth, arguing she would have been dismissed for secretly tape-recording a conversation with a pupil. [br] Which of the following is INCORRECT according to the last paragraph?
选项
A、The tribunal had rejected the "publicity-seeking" allegations regarding Prince Harry.
B、The art teacher will be dismissed for secretly tape-recording a conversation with a pupil.
C、The employment procedures of Eton College are not up to the standard.
D、The spokesman called for the tribunal to award no compensation to Ms. Forsyth.
答案
B
解析
推理题。从文章末段可以看出发言人从另一个角度呼吁法庭把这位艺术教师开除,那就是因为她私下为自己和学生的谈话录音,但是并未明确表示这将成为她被开除的最终原因,所以[B]与原文不符,故为答案。[A]与原文中的but said it was pleased the tribunal had rejected the“publicity-seeking”allegations regarding Prince Harry.对应;[C]与原文中的A spokesman for Eton saidthe school regretted its employment procedures had not been“up to scratch”…对应;[D]与原文中Headded the school would be calling for the tribunal to award no compensation to Ms.Forsyth…对应。
