Oxford tutors win right to be treated as employees

All too common a situation in universities. Shame!

Oxford dean of Faculties have been known to sit on interview panels where there own PhDs happy applied for a job and by pure coincidence their own PhD outperforms vastly stronger external applicants and gets the job. Cambridge hires fix termed staff as no one strong applies, and it gets weak insiders in who then are made permanent either without a further interview or with an interview where no stronger external candidate will be able to compete as the interview panel members are known to the internal applicant. This is why some in the Cambridge Law Faculty have no PhD and few leading papers and books.
