Universities do not have a monopoly on academics

What the managerial types who have "hollowed-out" our universities might possibly need to fear is that the in the emerging field of 'Critical University Studies', retired academics are going to tell their stories and name and shame those who have been behaving without any sense of decency towards staff, students or for the good for the university. Once in nicely pensioned-off retirement from university employment (those lucky enough to have a good pension), they will be empowered by their own experience and that of their colleagues and associates to publish in books, peer reviewed journals, newspapers and social media exactly what has been going on. Woe betide the nasty university managers who never paid for their critics to be silenced with a gagging order from the money paid by overstretched and indebted students and the vast income syphoned off form research grant income earned by proper academics.

I am retiring early from academia so that I have time to work on science.
