Goldsmiths University Diversity officer facing sack

[killer b]

Not as far as I know. I searched her name before I posted

Ah, it was someone else. Still, interesting that in a world of idiot student politics, it's two ethnic minority women who get hauled into the stocks.

From the petition: "This is especially relevant to the repercussions of the recent occupation she was involved in leading. During the occupation she booked a short amount of leave and then declared she was ‘on leave until further notice’, leaving students without an official Welfare and Diversity Officer. When asked to attend a meeting intended to allow disabled students to voice their concerns in a safe space where they would not be shouted down, she complained to the organiser that this was a negative sounding meeting and asked people to attend to voice support for the occupation. This has actively oppressed the voices of disabled students seeking to speak to their representative officers."


So a load of disabled people that weren't prevented from accessing disability services, decided they needed a meeting to complain / or make one up in order to help counter some militants. That's MORE plausible than the alternative version of events?

Depends who you think started the petition.

Yeah, she's full of shit. Countering her shit by saying she isn't black enough doesn't strike me as the most effective method though. That we're discussing her at all seems a bit odd.

In fact, if you go back and read the thread, this is not quite what happened, but this aspect is not one that I'm inclined to spend any more time on ( at self for my original response to you)

 

[Fingers]

I find the whole thing rather depressing, she obviously has the ability to connect with people but I would rather it was put into something positive rather than hate speech targeted at sections of our society. I feel the same about Tommy Robinson-Yaxley-Lennon.

Fuck me if thats what the next generation of spin doctors are capable of, nobody's safe

 

[Belushi]

It also helps if your mates are studying philosophy or politics, not for debates or anything but because they'll have loads more free time to put up posters and stuff because they never have any proper work to do.

Fuck off! I studied Politics

And had a grand total of eight hours lectures & seminars a week

Ah, I thought you were referring to the quote from Liz Hutchinson you'd posted up, which talked about the occupation preventing access to various student services, not to her taking a leave of absence and not being available as diversity officer in that time which I can believe and is very shitty. Having said that, most occupations have been pretty short lived so I've not heard of anyone taking a leave of absence before. I'd fully expect the uni to jump on and exaggerate acting they can as well.

Well there you go then, not exactly rushed off your feet were you?

 

[Nice one]

Next stop Clapton Ultras

closer than you think. The person she called white trash on twitter is tom harris (awl and dulwich hamlet fan) whose brother grassed up the cowdenbeath flying column lad to the police at the clapton game. Small fucking world.

What, starting a petition? That's hardly Level 10 Mandelson stuff.

 

[SpookyFrank]

Probably her mum.

Ah, small world indeed

 

[cantsin]

Well if she was being paid to do stuff then she shouldnt be doing occupations although what exactly a diversity officer does day to day is anyones guess

Ie :,Just like Tories complaints re: union officials in pub sector

With the intial press release set up. And a nice line in "those affected cannot come forward in public for fear of their safety" to fall back on the future.

Occum's razor.

If anyone has the time or energy:

I managed 41 seconds. Do I get a prize?

Bloody incestuous

I most certainly will not. My mum warned me of your sort on the internets.

you should have done history, had six - and for one lovely year i had 3 hours a week for six months.

Is all this in that London then? I've never heard of this woman or goldsmiths. Is it a pawn shop?

Student politics is literally all people talk about down here. I mean I was on the train this morning and I sit down and the bloke next to me says "so listen what do you think about the latest Goldsmiths suspension?" and I'm like "listen mate, seriously, I've not even read all my Instagram yet, I can't be expected to construct a meaningful position can I all right?" and he's all "only asking only asking" but I know he's thinking "lazy tart, should have read up on the latest before he left the house".

All them downvotes. It's probably doing the rounds in the MRA/Gamergate swamp.

I imagine most people gave up watching pretty sharpish.

Fine Art, 2 lectures a week IIRC. And you can sit in the bar nominally sketching whilst your paint / cley / car under sealant, dries.

It's not. It's entirely unimportant and boring. No need to let it depress you.
