The left likes to talk about agency and a social licence to operate. The best example is under ESG, (environmental, social and governance) whereby banks for example refuse to lend for the purposes they deem to be unfashionable or that they believe no longer have the support of society, like coal mines or coal fired power stations.
Why doesn’t this same idea of the social licence to operate also apply to universities? With the government as the bank they could easily apply the principles of ESG and they should.
If carbon “pollution” as it’s characterised applies to the holy grail of the environmental movement and the Labor/Green alliance, why shouldn’t the pollution of the mind apply to universities?
This is not at all complicated. So we mioght ask, where are the Libs proffering this very concept?
Do ordinary people at their kitchen table have to do their thinking for them and draft their polices for them?
They should be all over this.
