Academic bias

At university, we all know marx is marks; we do however need to balance academic interference against freedom of speech. 


Interestingly, Leigh and Gans research indicates mostly neutral political reporting from Australian media outlets with somewhat surprising results of News Corp and the ABC as being politically neutral and unsurprisingly, Fairfax and The Guardian reporting the greatest left wing bias. We are exposed to biased reporting daily, we do not want further exposure to excessive left wing ideals, we seek a balanced academic argument. 

Universities need to lead critical thinking and deductive reasoning amongst students based on measurable facts with absolutely no emotion involved or institutional bias. What we ask for is free thinking not overly influenced by the pangs of socialist lecturers; give us the information, the tools to analyse the problem and the academic freedom to come up with reasoned argument.
