A Cambridge lecturer posted on a social networking website on Wednesday that she “now works at Kafka University: please alter your address books accordingly.”
The same day, a “university court” sentenced PhD student Owen Holland to a seven term “rustication”: in short, he cannot return to the university until Autumn 2014. His crime? Playing a leading role in poetically heckling the universities minister David Willetts when he came to address an audience on “the idea of the university”. This was delivered via “the people’s mike” – each line was exclaimed, and then echoed by other audience members.
