Next Easter, classics Professor, Edith Hall, is moving across London, from Royal Holloway to King's in a move prompted, we're told, by her present university's reaction to funding changes. The Observer, today, carried some detail of the ins and outs of the matter.
The paper quotes from Hall's resignation letter:
The intense stresses of a professional environment in which the senior management do not in my view uphold the values definitive of a university, and whose fiscal competence I do not trust, make it impossible for me to continue teaching and conducting research at Royal Holloway.
Ouch.
