UK Institute Apologizes for Citing Russian Nationality

A UK cancer research facility has apologized for telling a student that her PhD application had been rejected because she is Russian.

The Russian student had been denied a place at the Beatson Institute for Cancer Research in Glasgow, Scotland. The letter from the institute said: "I am afraid that I have to withdraw my offer. I have just been told that very recently Beatson has established a new policy upon which I am unable to appoint you because you are Russian.”

Beatson’s Director has since reacted by apologizing and saying that the institute “is reviewing the processes internally to prevent this issue from occurring again."
