    I was surprised by the content and tone of the article in the Galway Independent. If the problem was solely that they forwarded on a lecturer evaluation form it seems very hard to understand why they'd then settle out of court and pay a six figure sum to avoid going before the courts and making the details of the case public.

    JustMary: i agree with you points about anonymous evaluations.

    It wasn't that "they" settled out of court.

    Be it a six figure or seven figure some, it was probably easy to agree on when it was not the monies of any of the parties involved.

    It was your money and my money.

    Let's also be clear on one thing. No legal precedent has been set here, as it was not a judicial decision.

    I was not suggesting that it was.

    SorryChilly. Was not directed at your post.

    Just the "they" side of it, in case of readers who might believe that the parties had personally paid.

    people who think otherwise should be free to air their opinion. It is crazy that he can sue because some students don't like him. We should have public rankings of third level courses and lecturers.
