MPs want UK university funding tied to tackling sexual harassment

Of course this would have more teeth if there was any serious commitment from government to actually fund universities properly...

Title IX consists of thirty-seven words: “No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving federal financial assistance.” Seems simple doesn't it, no wonder the MP's like it, it appeals to their simple minds? The reality is rather different, with feminist female professors just as likely to end up being victims of the process that has evolved, Laura Kipnis and Patti Alder being prime examples. UUK's taskforce and guidance already exists, and is thought by some to already have too much over-reach, with the extra judicial kangaroo courts Title IX created in the US that over-reach and mission creep now stifles academic discourse and research, do we really want to follow such a bad example?
