Italian academics fear return to old policies under new minister

Same as in the UK. You can take almost any issue of the THE from 2016, 2013, 2020, 2007 even, and it's Groundhog day. Same issues discussed; lack of funding, managerialism, excessive competiution, too much time soent fruitlessly chasing grants, not enough research timer, bullying from above and below....and what has changed. Nada, Zilch, nein, nyet, non, nothing.
