Disturbing to read what is happening in US universities. Wondering why there is not yet much discussion of this in UK unis, or in my own discipline of criminology?
We're watching the modern-day Nazification of universities and scientific institutions. Gleichschaltung. Gleichschaltung. Gleichschaltung.

Soul-draining discussion on Radio Four Today about Higher Education just now. Is it the principal purpose of a university to deliver "value for money" for students? Do the conditions staff work in matter? Does the state of the economy have anything to do with their long-term outcomes?
