23岁地理专业学生埃森·斯科特·布朗因被错误告知无法获得荣誉学位而于2024年12月13日自杀身亡1。布朗原定于2024年12月毕业,但在9月被通知其成绩不足以获得荣誉学位资格1。格拉斯哥大学随后进行的内部调查发现了"系统性"评分错误,事实上布朗的成绩足以获得2:1荣誉学位1。
大学调查还显示,布朗曾向学校表达过心理健康方面的担忧,但未能获得相应支持1。布朗的家庭已与大学达成民事和解,具体金额未公开1。代表家庭的律师Aamer Anwar指责大学"忘记了灵魂"且"治理流程不适当"1。苏格兰教育部长Màiri McAllan已与家庭见面1,质量保证机构(QAA)正对大学展开调查1。
A 23-year-old geography student at the University of Glasgow took his own life after being incorrectly informed he would not receive an honours degree, an internal investigation has revealed.1 Ethan Scott Brown was told in September 2024 that he could not obtain his qualification, and died by suicide on December 13, 2024, the date he was scheduled to graduate.1 An internal review by the university subsequently found "systemic" errors in marking, establishing that Brown actually possessed sufficient grades to achieve a 2:1 honours degree.1
The university's investigation also determined that it failed to provide adequate support to Brown when he expressed concerns about his mental health.1 His family has reached a civil settlement with the institution, though the amount remains undisclosed, and is now calling for broader accountability and further investigation.1 Aamer Anwar, the family's lawyer, stated that the university had "forgotten its soul" and demonstrated "inappropriate governance processes."1 Scotland's Education Secretary, Màiri McAllan, has met with the family, and the Quality Assurance Agency (QAA) is conducting an investigation into the university.1
