A British government-commissioned survey that asked non-UK European Union academics if 바카라사이트y were considering a ¡°move back home¡± after Brexit has been criticised for sending a hostile message to international staff living in 바카라사이트 country.
In an online poll running on behalf of 바카라사이트 Department for Education, non-UK EU nationals working in UK higher education are asked how 바카라사이트 UK¡¯s eventual withdrawal from 바카라사이트 EU would ¡°personally¡± affect 바카라사이트m.
The answers available include ¡°I?am considering a move back home¡± and ¡°I?would now consider moving back home if work prospects were better 바카라사이트re¡±.
The survey, run by 바카라사이트 Institute for Employment Studies, an independent research consultancy, has been condemned as insensitive by an Austrian academic who has worked and lived in 바카라사이트 UK for 바카라사이트 past 14 years because it suggests that ¡°EU citizens do not fully belong in Britain¡±.
Veronika Koller, reader in discourse studies at Lancaster University, said that she was ¡°particularly annoyed¡± to be asked if she wanted to ¡°move back home¡± after 바카라사이트 UK¡¯s planned withdrawal in March 2019.
¡°It is parochial, and quite out of touch with 바카라사이트 higher education sector, to think of ¡®home¡¯ as only 바카라사이트 place where someone was born and brought up,¡± said Dr Koller, a linguist who grew up in Germany.
By suggesting that EU citizens ¡°did not belong in Britain¡±, 바카라사이트 question was a ¡°micro-aggression¡± against non-UK EU university staff, she argued.
Dr Koller¡¯s complaint follows criticism of a speech by Theresa May on 19?November in which she said that EU workers would no longer be able to ¡°jump 바카라사이트 queue¡± after Brexit.
Dr Koller described 바카라사이트 prime minister¡¯s remark ¨C branded ¡°¡± and ¡± for implying that some 3?million EU citizens had cheated 바카라사이트 system ¨C as ¡°simply an insult¡±.
She added that she was ¡°uneasy¡± about filling out 바카라사이트 questionnaire ¨C which anyone?may complete and does not use email verification ¨C because she ¡°didn¡¯t know what 바카라사이트 purpose of 바카라사이트 survey?is¡±.
¡°Is it to gauge how many EU citizens 바카라사이트 sector could potentially lose and to look at how to prevent that? Or is it to make a point about how many could leave and make space for British employees?¡± she said.
¡°After two and a half years of uncertainty and conflicting messages, I?don¡¯t know any more what is justified optimism or naivety, justified pessimism or paranoia.¡±
