I agree. I would say there are a lot of squeaky bums there now. And rightly so. Also it would make me question the integrity of those involved in appointments in general, not just in his case.
Yeh it's worsened by things like X where there's no room for nuance is tiny short messages
I’m exactly the same. I don’t feel compelled to put a label on it.
This.
It's been mentioned on this and the previous thread that dependent on the settings on the fundraiser, it's possible for the target to automatically increase as it gets close to the current target.
I was watching a video earlier with Camilla Tominey and Jacob Rees Mogg, which came out last week, where she told an anecdote about his time at Roehampton, I think, where he marked a students work at 70%, and this student approached him to say she was told she was averaging 75%, and his response was to say that was because of her white privilege. It’s little stories like this, that really make me realise that this guy was quite unpleasant. I feel if he’s doing that to students looking up to him, then he was misusing his power to undermine them and dare I say effectively to admonish white students.
The terminally online 'left' don't know the first thing about what left or right even means, they know duck all about political history and I sometimes wonder if they even understand the basics of democracy. They just think 'left' = nice, permissive (to people they deem deserving) and 'right' - the bad guys.
Yes. The same people fretting about extremism on the right, are creating more extremism, by shutting people and conversations down, acting with total intolerance whilst demanding tolerance. Inciting hatred themselves whist calling the police to insist they are a victim of a hate crime. The real threat to our society are far left extremists, and it has been thus for quite some time.
Yes, I had read about the way he treated that student. Absolutely disgraceful. And who knows if he treated others the same, for daring to even approach him politely about a grade. Shameful carryon. Not something that the university should stand over, either. Not for a millisecond.
It is...but someone said the auto increase had been turned off...clearly not!
The entire article is only 19 1/2 pages long, 2024: Injustice on the route to a full professorship/Chair. Well, indeed. What The Actual duck!!!!!!!!
She’s lucky she was at Roehampton just down the road from his house. I doubt his students had much opportunity to approach him about their grades or anything else in most of the other institutions he ‘worked’ at. Eg: while a full-time full professor (teaching and research, he’s at pains to clarify) at Glasgow he rocked up in the morning straight off a flight for three days a week and had already ducked off again by mid-afternoon, early enough to get to the airport, through security etc etc etc and get on a 4pm flight back to London.
There's no bleeping way. I fly Manchester to Belfast Int. regularly, a shorter flight than London to Glasgow, but even then the times wouldn't really add up.
Everyone feels that being terminally online and expressing their opinion without criticism is a human right and any impingement on that from the opinions or mere existence of other people is intolerable harassment.
I thought it must have been because it was so close to target. For a moment, I had a smidge of respect for Sir Patrick Vernon but this is gross.
Excellent post @Wu Tien - I nodded my head in agreement with every single word. Just quoting one line that sums up exactly what I have been thinking about him.
1 billion of public money?! Yes considering how w3ll the economy is doing this seems like a great use of resources
