In the year since the culture war over decolonising the curriculum raged in the media, universities are changing how they teach

If Rhodes falls then his scholarships should also stop at that university. That sort out the free places for the selected students I bet they'll be well pleased with those protesters.

The inmates running the asylum, what could go wrong?

For the sake of our future, I hope they don't listen.

The whole concept of decolonizing science is incredibly stupid. It's based on the idea that your race has an impact on your scientific discoveries. That somehow gravity is racist and oppressive because it was formulated by a white, British guy.

In order to decolonize university courses, start by closing all faculties using Post Modern critical analysis formulated by white Western academics.

Hopefully the answer to this is NO ! How about setting your own exam questions so as not to be offended by unfairly hard ones on subjects you find upsetting.

Students go with to uni to learn from people wiser than them. This lot seem to need that particularly badly.

Students are not academics. Why should they have a say in something they have not received training for. Once they become phd’s and they have convinced their peers of the soundness of what the curriculum should be, then they can teach it.

I think you'll find they want their tuition fees cut.

Students have time to kill

So either you're saying bme people are incapable of learning things written by white people or they need to work harder in university

That rhetoric is already in South African Universities in particular Uni of Pretoria. However it is concerning that, if African Academics express their prowess they are viewed radical.

Nay, but i think the students head must be de idelogised.

Lol

Nope.
