"This concerned the Free Speech Union, which said when there was fear, self-censorship would follow.” Universities rely on voices being free. How do academics progress knowledge in an environment that doesn't welcome debate and dissenting ideas?
“A negative comment about two-way communication said: ‘Staff also fear that they are not safe to express their honest opinions for fear of reprisal of being seen as not towing (sic) the party line.’" rnz.co.nz/news/national/…
“Harm is what the BSA report claims occurs when free expression isn’t properly regulated, but what does ‘harm’ mean? Well, you tell me. No definition is given.” plainsight.nz/the-bsa-must-r…
HEFOSA provided accessible mechanisms to enforce the free speech duties of universities (duties they are already subject to under S.43 of the Education Act, which sadly lacks a meaningful route of redress). I hope more Labour MPs will join Stringer in supporting this vital Act.
Labour MP Graham Stringer is opposed to rescinding the Higher Education (Freedom of Speech) Act. thesun.co.uk/news/30431522/…
Not least because the digital platform is called pol.is. The talk of 'hate speech' is a worry, though. Free speech is one of the central democratic values.

(1/4) Very excited to announce the fantastic lineup for our next event, "BAN THE BOOK, BANISH THE AUTHOR" taking place on September 26 @ NOON EST. Check out who will discuss Free Speech VS Censorship throughout History: Ban-the-Book.eventbrite.ie
Good speech. It is no exaggeration to say that the future of academic freedom is contingent on the Higher Education (Freedom of Speech) Act. Academics should not be harassed or hounded out for their beliefs; and students should be able to express their views without fear.
My fourth speech of the day, so a bit croaky, tired and disjointed, but I used a debate on university funding to criticise Labour's disgraceful dumping of the Higher Education (Free Speech) Act. The suggestion that universities should prioritise financial security over academic…

One question we would ask about this piece is: Does the writer really believe that Kauri and Tohorā are closely related, and that Tiwaiwaka is trying to send us messages? thespinoff.co.nz/atea/03-12-202…
It was good to talk to biologist @NickJMatzke on the @nzinitiative podcast about the University of Auckland's controversial curriculum refresh. We also talked about a recent project that suggested that whale song can cure kauri dieback. nzinitiative.org.nz/reports-and-me…
Game theory and choice theory are hugely important and impactful in our modern era... but so too did they play an essential role in the ancient world. Check out our newest Classical Wisdom Speaks #Podcast w/ Josiah Ober of @Stanford & @HooverInst: youtu.be/Ms9-6s4GyWw
On gender-equality grounds, Next, a UK retailer, has been ordered to compensate shop-based employees because they had for years been paid less than its warehouse workers. The whole case is completely mad, as @ATabarrok spells out lucidly in this blog post marginalrevolution.com/marginalrevolu…
Over 14% of secondary students in NZ attend single-sex schools. But what does the evidence suggest about how good such schools are for academic achievement? youtube.com/watch?v=C8_V5n…

1. Ancient Greek verbs which for whatever reason take μή with an infinitive can end up with the double negative μὴ οὐ.
I agree. Here is a version of a map of the earliest farming cultures that I used in my first year courses on ancient civilizations
People should learn the basics of where civilization originated
That's true, but that doesn't mean that if someone asked where the iPhone came from, the best answer would be 'the ancient Near East'
