Bullying of Academics in Higher Education

The bullying of academics follows a pattern of horrendous, Orwellian elimination rituals, often hidden from the public. Despite the anti-bullying policies (often token), bullying is rife across campuses, and the victims (targets) often pay a heavy price. "Nothing strengthens authority as much as silence." Leonardo da Vinci - "All that is necessary for evil to succeed is that good men [or good women] do nothing." Winston Churchill.

• Skorupski's Law states: the more vain one's ambition, the more redundant one's grasp of morality. My experience at the University of St Andrews was that if a sufficient number of significantly placed people in a particular community attempt, through vanity, to realise unrealisable ambitions, a collapse of moral and intellectual judgement filters down through that community.
