Encyclopedia Britannica has made all of its content available to bloggers and other “web publishers”. Which is nice. It means I can link to their “On the Day” feature, which today is about the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. There was a certain resonance in this, as nestling in my inbox today was the latest “Stop the Boycott” bulletin. When academic freedom is attacked in the way that some members of the UCU propose, it is salutary to heed the warnings of history.
Update:
So, rather predictably, UCU have decided to keep the boycott as a live possibility, without even having a debate. How marvellously democratic.
