A university lecturer has won a £15,000 payout after being unfairly sacked from his role for ‘aggressive’ behaviour – by sending too many question marks in text messages.
Dr Binoy Sobnack, a physics lecturer at the University of Loughborough, created an ‘intimidating tone’ with his use of ‘multiple punctuation marks’, a tribunal heard.
He was removed from his role as warden of a hall of residence following complaints by fellow staff.
