Fishel judgement puts an end to 'blind-eye' culture

Article Abstract:

Former Academic Dr Simon Fishel is likely to have to pay a large part of the profits he has made from infertility work to Nottingham University, Nottingham, England, who were his employers at the time. Some observers have pointed out many academics undertake commercial work whilst being employed by a university. Others suggest if academics could not take on other work they would not stay at the universities. Dr Fishel pointed out if he had not been in conflict with the university the case would have never been taken to court. Legal experts suggest academic contracts needed to be clarified.
