The Spectator(@spectator):It is ironic that universities which are meant to be theatres of open thinking and debate have ended up as hegemonic, close-minded factories of woke ideology. If Britain's universities are to salvage their tarnished reputations, there needs to be rapid systemic change. All the DEI criteria used for assessment and recruitment must be removed. Whole Faculties and departments offering degrees in ideological non-subjects need to close down. ✍️ Stephen Pax Leonard Article |
