@Theeyeballsintheskyit's because "Impact" has encouraged academics to be activists and certain sections/units of the University community are wholeheartedly committed to 'Rightthink' and activism. As someone once said to me, diversity seems to mean people who look different, but think the same.

Yes agree plus of course students are now paying customers so universities seem a lot less inclined to say no to them

Ffs - why are universities allowing this to happen? How are these fuckwits going to cope in the real world? Do they think they can curate the whole world to only express views they agree with? Reality is not social media where you can mute or block everyone you don't agree with

That is really disappointing behaviour by those students that led to this decision. Imagine being at university and not being able to cope with opinions that don't match yours and instead of attending and listening and asking questions that might show flaws in Michael's thinking, you work to get that event cancelled or drown out any ability to hear his words.

I know - disgraceful isn't it. I work in a University elsewhere and my particular unit is totally captured. Big fan of Michael and his erudition.
