I have posted this to higher education board as well
I have changed my nickname. I had made a formal complaint to an higher education establishment for mature students about a member staff. The Chair did not want my complaint to go though, posed obstructions delays. Now my complaint will be before a Panel and one Director has prepared his report for this and has send it to me to comment. I discovered and was surprised the Chair had obtained unauthorised access to most of my emails with the staff. I had no idea he did so. I had not given anybody permission to access my emails and did not allow them to show them or use them. The Chair printed out my emails circulated them to other persons and these emails will be shown to the members of the Panel who will do their final verdict on my complaint.
My emails contain sensitive private information. The chair have tried to intimidate me 3 months ago into handing him over every email of mine but without success. no part of any regulations allows this. He did abuse the information in my emails. He copy pasted my phrases inside his report mocking at my profession and my lifestyle. I am not angry but feel deep pity for his state of mind. I am disabled and have dyslexia . The Chair did obviously violate the DPA. My son who is a student says he cannot believe this and he has never heard of such a ludicrous thing at any university. I plan to make a formal complaint and ask the Chair to remove my emails from their documents and not use them. Since he is a top boss I cannot complain any higher except to contact my MP. I will also contact the ICO tomorrow.
I appreciate advice.
