The day of reckoning is coming
It’s not a fancy building universities need to put money away for. It’s the Royal Commission and class action that are coming. Being an institution seen to uphold knowledge, truth, and integrity, even falling for the rhetoric, increases delusion among management they’re not. They (think they) are good people. They make harmful decisions. Neoliberal universities perpetrate psychological and financial abuse. Some justice will be asked for back.
Institutional reputation vs freedom of speech: How unfortunate it’s come to this.
Staff all across the world are speaking out against injustice. It’s a vitriolic tirade. They face false accusations they are bringing universities into disrepute. Actually, that one’s on them.
Where to from here … A gig economy of radical free thinkers?
One in ten permanent academic staff are now set to go. Will you be one of them? Is the cold on the inside better for you than the cold on the outside?
Academic integrity: Apparently only required of staff not systems
Universities expect integrity of staff, but staff now know not to expect it back. They’ve wisened and toughened. But who will pay for that?
