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." -- Edmund Burke

Kingston University - London
Kingston University is a concentration camp... hundreds of thousands of pounds are wasted in fighting legal cases against good academics who are being bullied out of their jobs. Does anybody care that a serial bully university is wasting money and resources in such a fashion? Does nobody have the decency to stand up to this monster bully and say 'enough is enough'? And so more and more continue to suffer, to be victimised, to be bullied out of their work - many work in fear, in a concentration camp that knows only one thing: to eliminate any dissent. No compassion, no empathy, no mediation... just fear... This is how Sir Peter Scott runs his show.

This may be cathartic but....
I work in a university where I have been a target of wpb for many many years... I have been fighting this alone for many years...
This blog is a lifeline so take care with it...
it is not in our interests for it to be removed so don't play into their hands...
In solidarity and gratitude for all that you do.

I disagree, Aphra.
Naming and shaming is the only thing these institutions understand. Let them TRY and close down the blog. See how far they get.
They may threaten, but they don't have the balls to follow through.
And yes, I speak out against bullying institutions. Loudly and clearly.
