Kyaw Zin Win, a librarian from Myanmar Imperial University - MIU committed suicide. His gender identify was forced to reveal by the senior staff when all other participants had left the arena after internal meeting of the institution. He was closeted and didn’t even open up about his gender identity to his close family members. Later the harassing and traumatic incident, he was furthermore attacked, cyber-bullied and psychologically abused by the female co-worker in the viber group made for employees communication. Her quote goes, “All of you, don’t become like him, an imbecile” The victim exposed the screenshots of other co-workers claiming he should be sent into the military.

This is a great innovative university that really cares about it's students many people are complaining about bad management and things going wrong for them but I love this university! My course BA Acting is the same standard of trainning you would receive at any drama school. The teachers are passionate and hard working and the new campus is beautiful with everything that a student needs. There's been problems with security but that is predictable with a new campus, and problems have been dealt with and we've always been treated as if the students come first. More...

Two of my grandchildren have gained Firsts from UoN despite the poor organisation of the place. I was originally delighted that they would attend the same University as I did in the early 1970s when it was a College of Education. My delight began to turn sour over the past 18 months as I have seen grandchild number 2 struggle to access facilities promised at recruitment, find adequate technical support to showcase his work, and to be denied the opportunity of using the Summer between Year two and Year three to begin his Dissertation. At £9000 a year, I feel he was short changed in several ways. I am angry that he has got so much debt for a Course that was badly run, with no help to find work, despite a First. More...
