[Case number] 2008.05E England [Date of incident] May 2003 [Alleged Cause for Concern] Complaint also sent to HEFCE. Staff member alleged widespread plagiarism at the university. [Follow up action] Response sent from Chief Executive to explain that no protection against litigation is possible. Advice sought from QAA's solicitor. Allegation currently with HEFCE. [Initial analysis] 
Allegation is eligible for further investigation; however the complainant signed a compromise agreement following a related Employment Tribunal that would put QAA at risk of prosecution if any evidence were solicited. Complainant has refused to submit a formal complaint unless protection against litigation can be guaranteed.
