Sociology is a worthless science, until your country elects a fascist. Then it's "how could that happen here?" Hmmm.

Willingness to comply and the vague hope that the money might be found elsewhere?

They were not given any time to make any other choice - as it was the opening of the Marsden portal was delayed to make the changes

bureauchem.bsky.social•75 days ago

Absolutely. No consultation: do it or else. The head went between the jaws of the nice friendly lion some time ago.

I think we have to be somewhat realistic about the position this particular organisation is in, so I'll take it.

bureauchem.bsky.social•75 days ago

Totally. Needs must when the Devil takes the whip

Alternatively, JuCo took this out of her portfolio when she declined to be minister of research so pushing that responsibility back to the PM and the Minister for Tertiary Ed is appropriate I think? 🤷‍♀️

If by 'appropriate' you mean 'the best that can be done without expecting any change but not making things worse', then yes.

nicgaston.bsky.social•75 days ago

Best? No. But a thing that it is appropriate to do, alongside others ;)

I think it's pretty obvious where the 'leadership' on this is coming from so while we should not let the other two off the hook she is the correct target

lcsnz.bsky.social•75 days ago

She can ditch the word in her title but I'll be damned if we let her ditch the responsibility
