This quango was set up to regulate universities and to monitor the content of academic courses and the awarding of degrees. It is hopelessly woke and is having a negative impact on higher education.
The code issued by the QAA states that higher education establishments must consider the needs of all students – including those studying at different locations, from different cultural/educational backgrounds, with additional learning needs, or with protected characteristics – when designing courses.
The chilling effect of this can be seen in the recent brouhaha at Exeter University. The Department of Social Sciences (yes, I know a pseudo-science) and International Relations at Exeter is going through a wholesale redesign of its curriculum, ostensibly at the behest of the QAA. According to reports in the press, a number of academics are shocked at the changes proposed to curriculums in subjects like philosophy, law, politics, anthropology and sociology, likening them to a “Maoist cultural revolution” and a threat to free speech. Their curriculums apparently have to be “decolonised” and expunged of outdated notions and theories derived from “white supremacy”. Otherwise a few snowflake students might be traumatised. Academics must apparently broaden “ epistemological and ontological horizons by moving away from a white, Eurocentric curriculum”.
One academic opposing the changes said “ there are lots of people here who feel the same way as I do but no one will come forward because there is a deep culture of fear.”
In its defence the University has said if they don’t do this their courses will not be approved by the QAA.
This would be a joke we’re it not so serious. Close the minds of the young and you might as well turn out all the lights on academic freedom and enquiry and on the project of western civilisation as a whole.
What a pile of cunt.
