A NUDE male model has accused a further education college of sexual discrimination by claiming that art teachers prefer to let their students draw women.

George Bond, 54, (right) of Northampton, said two tutors at Northampton College were shunning his services. He claimed at an industrial tribunal in Bedford that the teachers preferred women models because they were easier for inexperienced artists to draw. College bosses denied his claims, saying he could not hold poses for long periods, fidgeted and went to the toilet too often. The tribunal was adjourned until 5 June.
