Grateful for the coverage by @charcolesjourno of @TheOxfordMail : 'The student said experts worldwide have "testified on record" that her PhD research is "ground-breaking", "field-changing", "bold, interesting and impressive"'. https://t.co/JYMjjuTFIi

I appreciate some of the questions raised by the public after @BBCNews piece. Since I believe this is a public interest matter, I have decided to share the supporting statement of @QueensCollegeOx for the appeals process. I hope this answers some of the questions.

As these experts’ statements suggest, the decision of the assessors to fail my internal doctoral assessment did not proceed from a fair consideration of my work. The assessment process was marred by serious procedural irregularity and bias issues.

That I have not received justice to this day and that my appeals and complaints to @UniofOxford and @oiahe were not upheld despite the severe concerns raised in this letter indicate that the appeals and complaints systems are not fair. @LaylaMoran @bphillipsonMP @Keir_Starmer
