It&#x27;s sad to watch how the quality of Western academia has been declining steadily in the past couple of decades.<p>Open mindedness and free thinking are not allowed or else the cancel crowd will get you.<p>Ganging up on someone with different views simply to eliminate them from the discourse became the new way to promote the only correct set of opinions.<p>My children will go to a uni in few years and I&#x27;m completely terrified by the amount of nonsense or straight out lunacy in growing parts of academia these days.

This is sadly lacking any background, I found this [0] article explaining what this is about, and back in January [1] there was an open letter by 600 philosophers condemning her.<p>[0]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.pinknews.co.uk&#x2F;2021&#x2F;10&#x2F;07&#x2F;kathleen-stock-university-sussex&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.pinknews.co.uk&#x2F;2021&#x2F;10&#x2F;07&#x2F;kathleen-stock-univers...</a><p>[1]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;sites.google.com&#x2F;view&#x2F;trans-phil-letter&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;sites.google.com&#x2F;view&#x2F;trans-phil-letter&#x2F;</a><p>Unrelated side-note: Never heard the word &quot;untrammelled&quot; before <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;dictionary.cambridge.org&#x2F;dictionary&#x2F;english&#x2F;untrammelled" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;dictionary.cambridge.org&#x2F;dictionary&#x2F;english&#x2F;untramme...</a>

As much as I detest yet another story of someone being arrested for wrong-think, I don’t see how this fits the guidelines?<p>&gt; Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they&#x27;re evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they&#x27;d cover it on TV news, it&#x27;s probably off-topic.

I&#x27;m not really very familiar with the situation with Professor Stock, could someone fill me in? Where these views she expressed as part of the course she was running, or beliefs she held personally?<p>If its the latter, absolutely in agreement, you shouldn&#x27;t be fired for beliefs. If its the former, that&#x27;s a little more complicated, I guess me not being familiar with how Philosophy is taught in university doesn&#x27;t help. You obviously don&#x27;t want to punish certain beliefs, but then surely by allowing them, especially if you have a professor which holds that opinion personally as well, you just end up punishing the opposing belief (in this case, a student arguing for trans rights may be marked lower because the professor disagrees and not because its incorrect, something I hear in other courses is not uncommon at all).<p>So yeh, if its the latter, thats fine and I agree with the solidarity, if its the former, I have no idea. Or I could be completely misinformed

<i>there can be a cost to individual institutions in defending the rights of colleagues to express unpopular opinions or raise difficult questions challenging popular orthodoxies.</i><p>Popularity of this relatively new orthodoxy is a big assumption. Its proponents are certainly loud, but are they really great in number and greater in number than its opponents? It seems unlikely.

Weird how they don’t have a Constitutional free speech guarantee yet they have more in a few spheres

Here is the background story: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.theguardian.com&#x2F;education&#x2F;2021&#x2F;oct&#x2F;12&#x2F;professor-says-career-effectively-ended-by-unions-transphobia-claims" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.theguardian.com&#x2F;education&#x2F;2021&#x2F;oct&#x2F;12&#x2F;professor-...</a><p>Long story short: The Union made a strong statement without naming her (this reminds me something interesting. In internal fights of the Communist Party, they like make this kind of strongly worded public statements without naming the enemy), but the university supported her academic freedom.
