I can't think of the person to whom you refer. We had one 'whistleblower' a few years ago who was totally in the wrong. He should have been sued for slander. I could go on about the malaise in universities but I don't want to hijack the thread.
Ah, OK. My mistake. A quick google tells me I was thinking to Ted Steele who, as you say, appears to have been overstating his case somewhat. Still, I've worked in three universities in two countries and I think the effects of changes in the way they are funded are fairly universal.... but, discussion for another time maybe.
