One way to expose the priorities of the modern university comes from the physicist Scott Locklin.
Jason Arday accumulated at least eight major honours—including five honorary doctorates—without producing any identifiable research breakthrough.
By contrast, George Mitchell and the engineering team behind modern shale fracking received only two honours.
So eight honors for having a social justice story, and two honors for the biggest scientific breakthrough of the century so far.
