An old professor of mine at Cambridge became the head of the department. She noticed three tenured professors were recieving a disproportionate amount of funding relative to their low output. When she tried to curb this, she received severe pressure both inside and outside the university to back down. A bad press piece was written about her from a respected news source. Cars would appear and wait outside her house at night. The pressure must have been immense, and I'm glad she didn't end up like Marshall. Sometimes all you can do is walk away from a career you've built. Whoever's toe you've stepped on, it's bigger than you.
