Academics Sign Letter Calling for NATO to Admit Ukraine Thu Aug 01, 2024 11:00 | Noah Carl
158 academics have signed a letter calling for NATO to admit Ukraine. But they don't address the crucial question of when Ukraine should be admitted: now, or once the war is over. Neither option is straightforward.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3If you're looking for some free speech for politically motivated university students, here's some:

I live in the US, where the most politically powerful group of people in the country is youth who don't want to get drafted. From what I've seen on this site, it looks like a lot of people in Eire-land are trying to figure out how to stop US politicians from starting huge wars too. Maybe there's a reason political groups are being banned at universities. Maybe the US is next...
Meanwhile at the other end of the country a similarly mysterious political protocol is apparently being self-imposed by students at UCC who are keenly aware of the corporate enviroment that surrounds them. In the middle of a debate about mismanagement/bullying/corruption etc here is what one student had to say:
Again, i'm not going to take a position on this on the boards, as whatever i say will inevitably piss off some people that i will need throughout the year. That may seem cowardly to some of you, but it is practical more than anything else.
This person is a representative on the student union, believe it or not. And while you might wish he had a bit more gumption, he is not wrong - retribution is swift for anyone challenging the regime. Ive mentioned already elsewhere how incredibly low the student anti-war opposition was/is within UCC - it almost exclusively middle-aged staff. The feeling is (as evidenced by the quote above) that students have read the runes pretty well and know what they have to do to ensure they get through UCC without a hiccup. Head down, eyes to the ground and stick to the status quo. Big new buildings for corporate backed research and other activity and the same forced cheeriness of Disneyesque fascism are the pillars of the new ethos. Strapping lads playing hurley and the success stories of young student women, would-be GMO business entrepreneurs in the college mags. Exciting new pharmaceutical research and mciroelectronic weapons technology. That's the shiny new face of UCC - despite the financial and other catastrophes unfolding behind the scenes.
