@ChrisMayLA6 I'd ban them for discrimination too, cos universities widely use it to shut people down and the power imbalance stinks.
I have 1 NDA I've not 100% kept cos it was really breaking my sanity and I'm past caring.
I have since refused 2 NDAs in discrim cases against 2 other universities. NDA is a hard no for me, it's too psychologically damaging and yes I did hurl citations at the relevant entities. They did not like it, but I got some degree of compromise both times.

Glad to hear you got some satisfaction.... I know too many people who were put through the ringer, though
@ChrisMayLA6 the hard way, I lost my job but did make them pay...
And the next two I was more prepared for the nasty games... So I ran my claims like a metronome, ignoring the bullshit and making them belatedly cough up... Doesn't help the career tho when university disability depts blatantly discriminate against disabled applicants and can't get the very basics right... Esp one offered a job in part for "legal knowledge"...

In response to this post@ChrisMayLA6 I have also pointed at a lot of the #MeToo stuff for NDAs when challenging them saying this applies very similarly and that it isn't me being "legally unreasonable" (lawyers rarely grok it) but knowing I won't keep to it, so shouldn't sign up to it.
Universities were cited as specifically nasty litigants in a review of disability discrimination cases in about 2007 before DRC became the useless EHRC.
@NatalyaD
yes, its the disconnect between their claim to be enlightened workplaces & their actual actions that always annoyed me - university HR departments are frequently a nest of vipers doing top managers' dirty work for them
