Feed the Rich at University (Fiction or Fact)

 Once upon a time ....


there was a university in the NE of England. A university that considered itself to be above other universities. This University committed many atrocities and got away with them. However, as in any story there becomes a time of re conning. This is now the time that transparency was revealed. 

As part of this, it would seem only fair to be transparent. I have a book out on amazon called the Ivory Towers Dirty Little Secret. It was written from my heart. It was probably written badly as I needed to get it out. so there was never any form of proof reading. I kept it vague to ensure it was a non obvious 100%. So I would suggest maybe read the book to see where my mind was. Secondly, look me up - find out the truth about me. You will read a lot of rubbish that was one sided. No one has ever had my side of events, I do aim to release it, not out of any form of wanting anything but again so as far as i am concerned the record is out there. Nothing is black and white, and my tale certainly is not. That said I accept that while not well, and again no one seems to care I wasn't, that events happened for reasons that are in this tale. Above all, I always apologise as until the day I day, which I genuinely hope is sooner than later.

Anyway, back to the first part of this excitement

  **Academic Abyss: Durham University Engineering Department's Inhumanity Exposed** **Six Long Months of Silence and Neglect** It's been six excruciating months since I parted ways with the Engineering Department at Durham University. (Yes it was down to my conduct - however this was 80%+ down to a huge range of things that had mentally destroyed me withing the university system. It also does not make the following treatment correct, professional or appropriate). Yet, despite repeated attempts to retrieve my personal possessions, the department has remained deafeningly silent. This Kafkaesque situation has left me reeling, both emotionally and professionally. **A Betrayal of Trust and Respect** As an employee, I invested my time, energy, and heart into my work. I had always valued the university's reputation and expected similar respect in return. However, the department's refusal to acknowledge my existence, let alone respond to my requests, has shattered that trust. *...

The Gift at Christmas

 God Loves a gift that keeps on giving. As people know I have a chip on my shoulder about the state of research in the UK. Especially when it comes to academia and the types of academic who work there. Periodically, if i feel demotivated, I like to remind myself why no matter what, life could be worse working at certain universities. So i dropped into that legendary North East Hell Hole, sorry that's my opinion, housing of academic (Fill in your own word). Go look at the state of the Engineering departments website. One can only assume they do no research in some of their NODES as they call them. As you click the link which goes no where. No promotion, no positivity, static - that's all i need to say. Go look for yourself #StaticResearch #DurhamDoesnt #WhatAMess #MyOpinion
