Unis use NDAs, threats and intimidation to keep secrets to protect management’s reputation, the uni’s reputation & escape accountability
This happens in most-if not all-unis: your uni is likely to be doing this, too

Unis use non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) extensively. NDAs are agreements that prevent people from disclosing info.
Unis also regularly threaten staff & students with fake harassment charges & defamation claims if they want to disclosure true info that the unis doesn't like.

Unis also monitor the speech of staff & students on campus & on social media. When someone expresses concerns, such as on Covid or overwork, or views that the uni doesn't like, they often face retaliation from uni management.

WHY IS IT BAD FOR ME IF MY UNI CONTROLS THE INFO I RECEIVE?
• Staff & students are put at risk of wrongdoing from known perpetrators the uni's hiding
• NDAs, threats & monitoring of info cost unis hundreds/millions year: this £ should be used on teaching/research/staff’s pay

Unis are supposed to be bastions of free speech. Instead they control info in the same way as dictatorships.
They want staff, students & society to believe a false narrative to hide management’s corruption & incompetence thrives at the expense of staff, students & society.
