The result is:
An email seen by BBC News NI suggests to some staff at Queen’s University Belfast (QUB) that they should note that higher marks are awarded at competing universities when considering how to grade their own students.
An internal email to staff at the QUB Business School tells them to “please bear this in mind” when marking students’ work.
A whistleblower, who spoke to BBC News NI anonymously, claimed lecturers felt under pressure to increase marks.
But a university spokesperson said it “completely and absolutely refutes any suggestion” that staff in its Business School have been put under pressure of any kind to inflate the grades of their students.
