Japanese professor's discrimination claims against SOAS dismissed by tribunal judge.

A Japanese academic's claims of racial discrimination and harassment against her British university, SOAS, have been dismissed by a tribunal judge. Professor Sato-Rossberg accused her university boss, Claire Ozanne, of being prejudiced, after Ozanne discussed their shared interest in sushi. The judge ruled that Ozanne was merely making "small talk" and trying to be friendly, dismissing Sato-Rossberg's claims as unfounded and "hypersensitive."
