Janice Turner on Jo Phoenix win

[highame]

I love her journalism. The final paragraph filled me with joy (well, the whole thing did)
Phoenix has found safe harbour at the University of Reading, where she was greeted by campus security and given a personal alarm. Here the vice-chancellor manages to balance academic freedom with the right to protest. To Phoenix’s great delight, she was congratulated on her tribunal victory both by academic colleagues and her students, a new generation who, she feels, reject totalitarian thinking. Not an embarrassing uncle after all but a rather cool and courageous aunt.

Reading University? Isn't that where Prof Rosa Freedman had urine poured over her door for recognising that sex is binary and women have rights?

At least this time the uni is actually providing some new security, unlike how they treated Prof Freedman.

Amazed to hear that there are any universities where freedom of thought is still tolerated.

Did Kathleen Stock take her university to a tribunal? It all happened a bit before my time being aware of all this.

Think she just walked as it was all going bonkers. She had at least as good a case as Prof. Phoenix.

Actually, scrub that-she had/has a much better case as I dont think Prof. Phoenix had on campus demonstrations with nutters dressed like the provisional IRA waving flares about.

I have a feeling Kathleen Stock may have reach a settlement but nothing has been said publicly so I assumed it contained an NDA.

Absolutely brilliant article - she's a phenomenal writer! Thanks very much for sharing it, reading it has been a lovely start to the day.

Fantastic article, along with Sonia Sodha's in The Observer (other thread, below)
