This book tells the sad, true tale of what has been transpiring. It is a saga of lunacy, criminality, pandering, and identity politics. The mad and the bad - the deranged, deluded, the depraved - have been granted endless latitude in bullying and abusing others. The decline began in 2015 with the Rhodes Must Fall protest that resulted in the offending statue's removal within a month, and which spawned similar protests abroad. Emboldened by their local success, the protestors issued new and ever-increasing demands later that year and then again in 2016 and 2017. Their methods also became criminal - including intimidation, assault, and arson. The university leadership capitulated to this behaviour, and this fostered a broader and now pervasive toxic environment within the institution." -- $c Back cover. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a Introduction -- What are transformation and decolonization? -- Must UCT also now fall -- The censure -- A blow to academic freedom -- The taming of the Academic Freedom Committee?-- The University of capitulation -- The insufficiently "concerned philosophers" -- Dr Pangloss and the best of all actual African universities -- Academic climate change -- The academic freedom farce continues -- Impugning with impunity -- Genocidal tweets -- A very strange invitation -- Liquid bullshit -- Crybully medical students -- Racial preferences -- Selecting a dean : racists v racists xenophobes -- Manufacturing the narrative of a racist university -- Bending over BAC-awards -- Excremental behaviour -- Commandante Lushaba and the FuÌhrer -- An enduring toxic climate -- Conclusion 610 20 $a University of Cape Town. 610 27 $a University of Cape Town. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00532820 650 0 $a Education, Higher $z Cape Town. $z Cape Town. 650 0 $a Educational change $z Cape Town. $z Cape Town. 650 0 $a Universities and colleges $z Cape Town. $z Cape Town. 650 0 $a Student movements $z Cape Town. $z Cape Town. 650 7 $a Education, Higher. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00903005 650 7 $a Educational change. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00903371 650 7 $a Student movements. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01135954 650 7 $a Universities and colleges. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01161597 651 7 $a South Africa $z Cape Town. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204844 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117023438.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=EAF6D55E1DF111EDA8BEF4A423ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
