“Oh my! Our diversity project has run into a few snags…some of our colleagues are raising a stink, better circle the wagons and bring them on board, or all of our careers are in jeopardy. No university will be allowed to hire us and will question the qualifications of our other PhD students.”

Like shooting DEI sitting ducks in a tranquil Cambridge pod of seedlings.
What are these DEI “scholars” engendering?
Be interesting; as to why this odd duck, was chosen to be carved & seved up?

Unfortunately, universities UK red brick and other varieties, are in a race to the bottom, due to lack of funding. There has been massive recruitment campaigns into countries where for example, simple referencing is not taught or required. There is acceptance of students into post grad programmes who would not pass IELTs English proficiency tests, who don’t attend lectures or tutorials, and in my view some who seem to be using the student visas to actually enter a country and a university for the purposes of employment, rather than study, . The result is a huge additional workload and emotional labour requirement for academic staff who were not appointed to perform these additional duties - double whammy on the quality of teaching and supervision of academic work. It is a phenomenon across the EU as well.
