Oxford University Lecturer Discriminated Against After Converting to Christianity

Country: United Kingdom

Date of incident: July 29, 2010


Dr Tali Argov overlooked for promotion, stripped of her privileges and ill-treated at social gatherings, after converting from Judaism to Christianity.

Dr Tali Argov, Israel-born Oxford university lecturer, says she was overlooked for promotion, stripped of her privileges and ill-treated at social gatherings, after converting to Christianity. The Daily Telegraph quotes her as saying at the Reading Employment Tribunal in July 2010: “It is my belief that, following firstly the conversion of my husband and then the conversion of myself, the treatment which I received as an employee of the Respondents was very different and a number of incidents occurred which led me to believe that I was being discriminated against.”
