The Oxford university is [check notes] a university. What you have in mind is the Speakers Corner, where everybody can go and speak about vaccines, children of celebrities, lizard people and whatever.
- onetimeusename 4y agono? Did I or did I not link to a policy by the university? The council and congregation do not have the right to violate their own constitution and laws by selectively enforcing them and using underhanded hiring tactics. If they wanted to make a private political activist club, they don't have that authority to do so even if it's impossible to enforce this. So the compelled speech is a blunt instrument against the rather delicate issue of free speech grievances at the university (given that the university has its own policy which may not be enforced properly)
