“They also fear they could be punished for not making student marks “more equal”, due to there being no consensus on what constitutes “fair outcomes”, and may be marked down for not endorsing the university’s guidance on decolonising curricula to ensure it does not “reflect a western-dominated view”.”
I’m sure Chinese universities are very worried about making sure their curricula don’t reflect a Chinese-dominated view.
Chinese universities don’t seek to make money by (competing for) attracting overseas students whose sensitivities must be pandered to. English universities are businesses with a global clientele who happen to be located in England. To use Theresa May’s phrase once again (it’s really quite apt), they’re not really English universities, they’re academic institutions of nowhere.
Yes, good point.
“Academics are told that they should not critique the Communist Party’s zero-Covid draconian lockdown measures, which have seen millions locked in their homes, as Chinese students may feel they are simply “caring more about others”.”
= Academics at the University of Surrey have been told that, in company with the 820 Chinese students attending the institution, they are now under the absolute ideological control of the Beijing-based CCP, and to mind their manners as such. Or else.
And how much of its funding comes from China, he asks …
Whether right or wrong, concerns over the preferential treatment of students from China due to the income derived from them could be heard many years ago.
What’s different now is the way the Comrades at Surrey are leveraging this to help usher in a different regime here.
Tim Dunne clearly in receipt of Chinese brown envelopes.
Considering that the CCP kept people locked or welded into their flats until they started hunger revolts out of desparation, it seems exceedingly unlikely that someone from China could believe this was a measure of kindness. Only the warped mind of western psychopath with zero concern for his fellow human beings could come up with such an explanation for a policy he wants to be implented for his own perceived benefit regardless of the cost to others, up to and including those other starving to death.
Here’s a message for you, Mr or Mrs Race Equity Psychopath: People from China certainly look somewhat different from us but they’re not strange animals, they’re people just like we are. If anything, they’re culturally more inclined to socialise than westerners because they’re accustomed to (in the cities) much larger population densities and sometimes feel lonely and miserable in European cities just because everyone’s so alone there (that’s from an Indonesian girl I once knew but wrt the number of people around she was used to, the situation is comparable). They’re – lightly put – not going to appreciate being forced into isolation for some abstract benefit. They might look all the same to you, but they’re not strange robots, they feel just like we do.
[Coming to think of it, could the race equity psychopath perhaps have a not so well hidden racism problem?]
“Coming to think of it, could the race equity psychopath perhaps have a not so well hidden racism problem?”
I think you are absolutely right. They are more racist than most people.
If criticising the CCO’s lockdown policy is a “microaggression”, why isn’t forcing an experimental genetic engineering transfection agent on the world a macro aggression or assault?
Free speech is gradually being curtailed.
