The government started with the pre-16 education sector: dumbing down the system and trying to turn children into approved clones: because heaven forbid they might have differing levels of ability and skills in different areas.
Now that mission is accomplished - and new undergraduates can't tell 'been' from 'being', 'sat' from 'sitting' or construct a basic sentence in subject-verb-object order - they're starting with H.E. Universities can no longer function in terms of their original intended purpose. They are censorious, almost dystopian, ideology-factories, rather thana place for developing the critical thinking and autonomy of their students as they claim to do.
Humanities departments are really big on teaching dystopia, ideology and totalitarianism: why? Because it's a 'sexy' topic and their students enjoy learning about it and will often opt for modules in that general subject area.
Yet the stated policies of many HEIs are now going back on the fundamental premise that a belief system without room for debate or questioning is a dangerous thing.
And misogyny is rife in this 'enlightened' sector: perhaps more so than in other walks of life, difficult though that is to believe. Sexual harrassment is endemic: almost every female lecturer has a story. And harrassing women, as Louise Moody is being harrassed, is possibly even more endemic: so much so that it's becoming viewed as normal.
She has my utmost sympathy in having to work under conditions like this.
