Medical Student Drops Appeal Against UCD | Limerick News

A medical student who sued University College Dublin over her academic progression after failing six modules—following an alleged sexual assault—has withdrawn her appeal. The High Court previously sided with UCD, finding they acted lawfully and without discrimination. At the Court of Appeal, her legal team argued UCD misapplied its own rules on exceptional circumstances, while UCD countered they offered months of support and only learned of the assault in April. The judge acknowledged the trauma but noted the student misunderstood how special grades worked. After the hearing, the student was briefly arrested on suspicion of deception, though no charges were filed. The appeal is now dropped, UCD wins costs, and the university will decide on future academic pathways for her. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
