...believe PhD students should be paid to study
Article Abstract:
The senior lecturer in international communications and media policy at Cardiff University argues that PhD students should be paid for the work that they do during the three years or so that it will take for them to earn their PhD. It is argued that if PhD students were paid through a research assistantship and were treated with a decent level of respect and not made to submit to the growing mountain of bureaucracy that they currently have to wade through, then the prospects for the future of higher education in the United Kingdom would improve.

...believe you should retire if you want to be an academic
Article Abstract:
The professor of education at Exeter University argues that the only effective way for an academic to do academic work properly is to effectively resign from the job that they were appointed to do. It is argued that only by doing this, by removing oneself from the merry-go-round of accountability and the forest of red tape can an academic be free to do their job in an efficient manner.
