Our thanks to James for this. An extract:

The college said the retirement was to “safeguard the high standards” of the university as well as for “inter-generational fairness” [J4MB: An unusual term for ageism] and to “refresh the workforce”. “Succession planning” and “diversity” were also used to justify the move, an employment tribunal heard. [J4MB: In plain English, (probably white) men of a certain age are to be thrown on the scrapheap so as to hand (probably BME) younger women their jobs on a plate, regardless of merit. How this will “safeguard the high standards” of the university is unclear.]
