Year after year the assaults by left-wing ideologues – including feminists – on academia become ever stronger. We see this also in the field of taxpayer-funded scientific research, where initiatives to ‘encourage’ women into STEMM subjects, and then to propel them into more senior positions than they’re qualified for, are gathering pace. Initiatives such as Athena SWAN, on which we’ve reported, will ensure that taxpayer-funded research grants won’t be offered to institutions deemed to be insufficiently effective at meeting feminist-dictated recruitment and promotion targets which inevitably advantage female researchers at the expense of male researchers.
AVfM has just published an interesting 12-minute video of Harvey Silverglate, an American human rights lawyer and graduate of Harvard Law School, talking about the impact of the takeovers by left-wing ideologues of the faculties and administrations of major American universities – Harvard in particular – which is mirrored across most of the developed world, by all accounts.
