UCD has issued a formal apology to Dr Aoibhinn Ni Shuilleabhain after she revealed how she was stalked by a colleague for two years.
Dr Ni Shuilleabhain, who is an assistant professor at the UCD School of Mathematics and Statistics, publicly spoke about her harassment on campus in September 2020. In a letter, UCD Acting President Mark Rogers said Dr Ni Shuilleabhain's experience "could not be further from the culture and working environment we strive to create for all members of our community".
He said: "It is clear that you suffered greatly as a result of the direct actions of a member of staff of the university. University policies at the time were inadequate to address the situation, contributing to an inadequate and untimely response to those actions by the university."
