With the stand-off between the University and College Union (UCU) and the University and College Employers Association (UCEA) set to rumble on, despite the intervention of the Education Minister, Robert Halfon MP, as well as the news that Students are now bracing themselves 'for the worst year ever' in terms of finding accommodation, tougher grades, a high risk of dropping out and also never ending industrial action, is it time to admit that the issues facing academia in the UK cannot be overcome and it may be best to say 'you know what, the fight is too hard, let's just close down the Universities and walk away.'
Whilst that last bit might sound the epitome of meekness and self-defeating narrative, is it time to at least be honest about the way that Universities are headed post Covid? With seemingly never-ending issues and unhappiness, what should be a happy time for School-Leavers moving on into the wide open world at 18 is now a time fraught with complications and depression - and we haven't even mentioned 'Wokeness' yet!
Universities, the NHS and other Lefty-infested institutions show no sign of ever improving and the rot has not only well and truly set in, it is now causing a bleed out and a 'cancerisation' of everything it touches.
Whilst the Governments (including the devolved ones in Wales and Scotland) will cry 'but we are listening, but we are doing enough' the reply back is 'you're not listening, you just don't get it - you so don't understand us!'
Wherever there is an impasse, instead of both sides being adult and agreeing to speak honestly and openly, it is now childish tit-for-tat which rules the roost debate-wise; 'if you won't agree with me I'm blocking you'.
The problem then is that such an impasse directly and indirectly affects thousands of innocent people and also will put many young people off going to University, with many already choosing apprenticeships and Online course with the Open University, Arden University etc. With the transition to online learning, post-Covid, do we actually need the bricks and mortar centres of learning where old lefty curmudgeons salivate over the latest 'hot take' in the Guardian whilst sipping their 40th soy latte of the morning?
Even back down the line in Secondary Schools and in some Primary Schools, Parents are now removing their young from the grasp of inappropriate subject teachings such as 'Masturbation For Four Year Olds' and 'How Big Can A Tranny's Clit Be?'
The 'walk away' culture which has emanated from the over-Wokeness of society is hated by the Left and with good reason - the Right know how to make it work and when the bottom line is that interest and finances are gone, how can you make a silk purse out of the sow's ear of failed academia and the failed teachings of the Left?
If those of us who have a functioning IQ have learnt anything from the past three years, it is that life is precious and we should enjoy every second of it. Only those who either still believe that a Degree hands them the keys to the city of paradise or the eternal masochist believe that Universities are still viable in the current climate.
Times have changed, but the Left still believe that things are still as they were in 2019. You don't need to be an expert to see the folly in that way of thinking.
Whether or not the problems manifest can be dealt with before the next General Election remains to be seen, but given how reluctant the Government is to listen to its mere peons I would state that even if the Tories are removed from power there will be no change, with the Liberal Democrats focusing their time and attention on re-joining the EU, Reform UK not being the biggest fans of Woke academia and Labour not knowing what a Student is.
University Challenged? I would say so!
