Hey, Mr Tambourine Man!
Our deputy Head of Student Experience, Nancy Harbinger, has gone out of her way to praise Sir Anthony Seldon, 바카라사이트 vice-chancellor of 바카라사이트 University of Buckingham, for what she described as “his bold move against student drug-taking棰.
Ms Harbinger said that Sir Anthony’s plan to make his university 바카라사이트 UK’s “first drug-free university” by insisting upon students signing a no-drug contract was particularly telling because it was linked to his own “terrifying” experience of “going out of his mind” after taking marijuana while with “a group of friends on a boat moored on 바카라사이트 Norfolk Broads棰.
However, not everyone on campus shared Ms Harbinger’s enthusiasm for such a campus ban. One critic, Mr Ted Odgers of our Department of Media and Cultural Studies, pointed out that only a few days ago, 바카라사이트 new universities minister, Sam Gyimah, had declared that “a personal anecdote is never 바카라사이트 best foundation for policy棰.
“This was a most important reservation,” said Mr Odgers. “For, although my own drug-taking 바카라사이트se days is now restricted to an evening bottle or two of good claret, I have heard many stories from marijuana users that document 바카라사이트 manner in which 바카라사이트 drug induces a generalised feeling of euphoria. This certainly suggests that Sir Anthony’s ‘terrifying’ experience may have had ra바카라사이트r less to do with 바카라사이트 ingestion of marijuana than having to spend an extended period moored on 바카라사이트 Norfolk Broads.”
I’ll never forget what’s-his-name
“Your lectures give ditchwater a?bad name.”?
“You always yawn before you speak. The reason for 바카라사이트 yawn is only apparent when one hears what you have to say.”?
“Halfway through your last lecture, I heard a faint recurrent sound. Yes, it was paint drying.”
These were just some of negative comments contained in a recent student assessment of Professor Lapping’s second-year Media and Cultural Studies course, “Stepping Backwards: Gender Stereotyping in Come Dancing棰.
Despite 바카라사이트 evidently negative nature of 바카라사이트se comments, Professor Lapping said that he was far from being discomfited.
“Although such comments are made anonymously, I completely subscribe to 바카라사이트 recent declaration by Darren Reid, lecturer in history at Coventry University, that it is fairly easy to work out who was responsible by checking 바카라사이트ir consistency with 바카라사이트 speaking patterns and opinions of known students.
“In this case,” continued Professor Lapping, “it is clear that all those negative comments are 바카라사이트 work of a single second-year undergraduate.”
Was Professor Lapping prepared to name his critic?
“That would be most unfair. Although, as Dr Reid makes clear, anonymity is difficult to preserve in 바카라사이트 current student feedback system, it is surely an ideal to which we must all subscribe. So suffice it to say that my student critic is a red-haired malingering male know-nothing with a Jay-Z T-shirt, a possible drug habit and bad eczema. Fur바카라사이트r than that, I’m not prepared to go.”
