A midwifery student threatened legal action against her university after it cancelled her hospital placement over her pro-life views, it was reported in February.
Julia Rynkiewicz was suspended from her placement after a lecturer at the University of Nottingham reported her involvement with the university’s Students for Life society. Although the allegations against her were dismissed, the university’s inquiry forced her to delay her studies. She will now graduate a year later than her peers and without access to student finance.
Rynkiewicz raised a formal complaint against the university and is seeking an apology.
