Lawyers for Trinity College Dublin have said they will produce statistics to show 'chapter and verse' that it is 'not a racist university' as they defend an academic’s workplace equality claimLawyers for Trinity College Dublin have said they will produce statistics to show “chapter and verse” that it is “not a racist university” as they defend an academic’s workplace equality claim. “The nature of the allegations are very sweeping criticisms made in a scattergun manner against Trinity and it is not appropriate that these be published or disclosed widely outside Trinity,” Kimber said. “We will, when we put in our submissions, show chapter and verse that Trinity is not a racist university,” she added. The university’s concern was that Sarkar would publish statistics its legal advisors proposed to submit in defence of the claim, she said. Kimber objected to Sarkar’s reference to a “replacement post” and later said the university “rejected categorically” the assertion that there was “any replacement post”.
