Update: St Andrews. The Herald and The Sunday Times publish articles about zero expenditure on free speech in the context of high EDI costs
Updated: Sep 1
(26.04.23) In response to our Freedom of Information request to St Andrews re its Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) costs, journalist Mark Smith has written articles for both The Sunday Times and Glasgow newspaper The Herald, questioning the validity and ethical standpoint of spending 235k a year on EDI, but absolutely nothing on free speech. The articles are well researched and balanced and reference the prevalence of self-censorship on campus.
