It is not possible to rise to leadership in UK HE without hating university employees.
The contempt that university managers have for their academic staff here in the UK is *off the scale*.
Ongoing decimation of British universities part 252:
Apx. 1000 academic staff at University of Essex just received formal ‘risk of redundancy’ letters via email.
