iamBullivantFree speech, yeah!
"@PolitlesUK: "NEW: Liz Truss calls for universities to be defunded if they're 'antithetical to Conservative values'"
Frondes have more fun 🇵🇸 ☮️@bullivant Perhaps you didn't know that the University of Oxford accepted a significant donation from the Conservative Party - as well as other suspect sources.
@linuxgnome Why would the Tories make a donation to a university?
@bullivant No comment. I happen to receive the list of donations every year.
@linuxgnome It is difficult to comment without more information. For example: the amount, the ostensible purpose, was it given to the University generally, a specific college or department and so on.
IanMoore3000@bullivant @linuxgnome on the face of it I am surprised to hear that an organisation like the Conservative Party that is always desperate for money to use for campaigning is making donations to anything, let alone an organisation as rolling in cash as Oxford University. Was this donation reported anywhere publicly?
@IanMoore3000 @bullivant Any graduate of the UofO would know as they receive the magazine with the list of donations.
@linuxgnome @IanMoore3000 This is very tedious. If the donation is in the public domain why won't you set out the details? You are after all the one who raised it as an issue.
You get that saying 'The Conservative Party made a donation to Oxford University but I'm not telling you what it was' is a very odd look, right?
@bullivant @IanMoore3000 because I no longer have the pages - simple.
@linuxgnome @IanMoore3000 So you 'know' that Oxford received a 'significant donation from the Conservative Party' but you don't know what it was? 🤔
@bullivant @IanMoore3000 It was in the category over £100k, from memory,.
@linuxgnome @IanMoore3000 I've asked my daughter about this. She has never seen a university wide list. Her college publishes a list of donations every year. So was it your college or the university that got the donation.
