Too much Politics in Academia. Check out UATX. Start with “The case for Merit, Fairness & Equality”. Diversity in the university system challenged by academics. Zero sum game applies. DI “Diversocrats and “Cancel Culture”. There should not be a 98% (like Harvard and other universities) completion rate…the fact is it should be harder to gain qualifications. Grade inflation is becoming toxic. Affirmative Action ” will it survive? Intellectual discourse “DI” to “Belonging”. SAT relates to intelligence. “Flip a coin” rather than choose on race example.

Character, Courage, Moral Matrix. Immigrants are human beings, just like the Irish now, but also as we were when we were shuffled through Ellis Island with the potential of being returned due to sickness or insanity to our country of origin.

Creation of new university, using different principles. “The Next Great University”. Principles are being challenged. Express opinion … what you say in the classroom must stay in the classroom … aim to create intellectual risk-taking and venture answer that may be wrong without being vilified on social media. Ancient philosophy to AI ie literate to numerical. “The Navy Seals of the Mind” Objective. It is essential to have a “Moral Matrix” comment by Pano Kanelos. Elite Universities and their submission to “woke” is challenged. Trinity College Dublin BESS programme has these ideals but change is about to happen. “Naval Seals of the Mind; Moral Matrix; Modular but core business accountancy and then the creativity into a myriad of choices … “Green Berets of the Brain” is what Niall Ferguson speaks about – they have more stamina, courage. These are the new breed of students that are needed. UATX … watch this space.
