It's called withdrawl of goodwill and it's certainly happening in @universitiesUK right now. UK HE has only functioned because staff have worked for free and when your VCs repeatedly show you your value to them, what else do you expect? @ucu

Well done to you, Jacob /@Prolapsarian and your colleagues for this considered report, which shows what has really been happening at one of the UK's most ancient universities, by way of this orchestratation of bypassing and undermining existing governance structures.

Where Aristotle Taught Alexander the Great
This morning I published my first ever article with @NatGeo on the new excavations at Mieza, which may have just uncovered the Gymnasium where Aristotle taught Alexander the Great.

Those responsible are never held accountable

“The vandalism is unconscionable. The hatred of creativity profound. A curse on the politicians and pen-pushers who allowed this. They’re deliberately taking us into an age of idiocy.”
The Scottish Endarkenment has dawned in this dumbed-down nation
