The university’s 800 full-time academic staff are eligible to vote in the election which takes place on April 7th. Dr Tangney said the interview committee was supported in its work by Trinity’s professional HR staff. The decision of the interview committee was unanimous,” he said. On Sunday, a university staff trade union criticised the “undemocratic decision” to not allow a declared candidate to proceed in the election.
