Presumably this is woke ideology like... believing everyone should be able to pursue a career in science free from bigotry.
Is there a particular course in bigotry that the tories are recommending? Can I get a BSc in Being a Hateful Twat?? Presumably that's the recommendation?

Stopping HE workers from taking strike action will accelerate erosion of opportunity available to vast majority of students. It will vandalise rather than protect provision. Of course, this is what tories want. Education a luxury commodity with no democracy of access or delivery.
@EmmaKEdDev I get annoyed at people who assume I can take leave over the summer when that's peak all hands to the pumps time to prep everything ready for October. My 'quiet' month is November. Not great holiday time.
Democracy isn't. It's always going to be a rough approximation. Representation by a small number of delegates or a wider eballot with partial wording and no chance for nuanced debate, they're neither option great.
But every time I see 'democracy' in a motion I sigh.
