Skin in the game:
It is easy to be politically correct under no skin-in-the game, when it represents no personal risk, or doesn’t harm one’s profits. U.K. universities’ largest donor is Saudi Arabia (where women can’t drive and bloggers are whipped and jailed). They gladly take the money –unconditionally. But the administration of UCL takes it out on a defenseless 72 year old scientist who made a stupid locker room joke, and doesn’t represent any danger or potential profit. This is a combination of hypocrisy, cowardice and prostitution.
