Julia Rynkiewicz, a final year midwifery student at the University of Nottingham, was subject to an almost 4-month long investigation after concerns were raised about her involvement with the \u201cNottingham Students for Life\u201d society. Rynkiewicz was immediately suspended by the University pending the outcome of the investigation which was ultimately dismissed by a Fitness to Practise Committee on 13 January. However her suspension meant that she was unable to complete required assessments in time and has led to her being forced to delay her studies. Rynkiewicz, who was supported by ADF International during the investigation, has now lodged a complaint with the University and is considering her options.<\/p><p>\u201cOf all places, university is where students should be free to debate and explore ideas \u2013 even those with which they disagree. In this case, Julia\u2019s involvement with an affiliated pro-life society led to her fitness to practise being investigated. The now dismissed allegations were initially withheld from Julia, then drip-fed, and then changed before she had the chance to respond. Universities should be committed to embracing a diversity of views across the student body and Julia\u2019s treatment in this case represents a very chilling prospect for freedom of speech on campus,\u201d said Laurence Wilkinson, Legal Counsel for ADF International in London, a legal advocacy organisation supporting free speech cases.<\/p><p>Rynkiewicz served as president of \u201cNottingham Students for Life\u201d, a pro-life student society that was initially denied affiliation by Nottingham University\u2019s Students\u2019 Union. Concerns around Rynkiewicz\u2019s fitness to practise centered on material available at the society\u2019s freshers\u2019 fair stall, as well as her public association with the society. However, in the wake of the allegations being dismissed, she believes that she was unfairly targeted for her beliefs and that there were significant procedural failures compromising the investigation.<\/p><p>\u201cIt is to Julia\u2019s credit that she remains absolutely committed to completing her training, caring for women, and bringing life into the world. She is now considering her options, as no student should have to go through this kind of daunting process in the absence of clear and compelling reasons. The thought of students being hauled before a fitness to practise committee because other students or staff disagree with their views is completely unacceptable, and makes a mockery of the University experience,\u201d Wilkinson continued.<\/p><p><b>Freedom of speech at UK universities<\/b><\/p><p>Recently, there has been a rise in the number of pro-life societies being established at universities across the UK. \u201cNottingham Students for Life\u201d was initially blocked from <a href=\"https:\/\/adfint.wpengine.com\/news\/freedom-of-speech-protected-after-legal-intervention-at-nottingham-university\/\">affiliating<\/a> with the Students\u2019 Union on the basis that its views \u201cdid not align\u201d with those of the Union. \u00a0After the prospect of legal proceedings was raised, the decision was reversed and the society was granted affiliation. Pro-life societies at <a href=\"https:\/\/adfint.wpengine.com\/news\/freedom-of-speech-upheld-at-glasgow-university-following-legal-challenge\/\">Glasgow<\/a> University, Strathclyde University, and Aberdeen University experienced similar treatment, but all ultimately succeeded in overturning these decisions after raising free speech concerns.<\/p><p>In 2018, the Joint Committee on Human Rights in Parliament released a report on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.parliament.uk\/business\/committees\/committees-a-z\/joint-select\/human-rights-committee\/inquiries\/parliament-2017\/inquiry\/\">Freedom of Speech in Universities<\/a> which criticised the \u201cno-platforming\u201d policies on UK campuses stifling debate around \u201cunpopular\u201d opinions. David Issacs, the Equality and Human Rights Commission Chair, has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.telegraph.co.uk\/news\/2019\/07\/04\/pro-life-christian-societies-must-not-blocked-campus-due-hypersensitivity\/\">emphasised<\/a> that universities should act as \u201cbastions of debate and defenders of expression\u201d and should not be hindering pro-life societies from affiliation simply because students disagree with their views.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a1c4475 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"a1c4475\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0702bff elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"0702bff\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tImages for free use in print or online in relation to this story only\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-96940ce elementor-widget elementor-widget-gallery\" data-id=\"96940ce\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;aspect_ratio&quot;:&quot;1:1&quot;,&quot;lazyload&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;gallery_layout&quot;:&quot;grid&quot;,&quot;columns&quot;:4,&quot;columns_tablet&quot;:2,&quot;columns_mobile&quot;:1,&quot;gap&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:10,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;gap_tablet&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:10,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;gap_mobile&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:10,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;link_to&quot;:&quot;file&quot;,&quot;overlay_background&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;content_hover_animation&quot;:&quot;fade-in&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"gallery.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-gallery__container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"e-gallery-item elementor-gallery-item elementor-animated-content\" href=\"https:\/\/adfinternational.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/DSC-29.jpg\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-elementor-lightbox-slideshow=\"96940ce\" data-elementor-lightbox-title=\"Julia RynkiewiczUniversity of Nottingham\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6ODgwLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczpcL1wvYWRmaW50ZXJuYXRpb25hbC5vcmdcL3dwLWNvbnRlbnRcL3VwbG9hZHNcLzIwMjFcLzA3XC9EU0MtMjkuanBnIiwic2xpZGVzaG93IjoiOTY5NDBjZSJ9\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-gallery-image elementor-gallery-item__image\" data-thumbnail=\"https:\/\/adfinternational.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/DSC-29-1024x683.jpg\" data-width=\"1024\" data-height=\"683\" aria-label=\"\" role=\"img\" ><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-gallery-item__overlay\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A midwifery student was forced to suspend her studies after facing a fitness to practise investigation over her involvement with a pro-life society.
