Err. Shouldn’t #CambridgeDivinityFaculty/#CambridgeUniversity board suspend #JamesOrr, or persuade him to ‘step aside’, pending the outcome?

Re the contribution of politics,
an exacerbating factor is:
Gove’s removed 1:1 career guidance in-school , & that’s never been restored for all students.
YP used to see a careers advisor in Year 11, 12, +, to help them understand how to enter the working world.
