An apology to the reporting staff at THE

When I read in the Times Higher that the Campaign for Science and Engineering was explicitly calling for less democracy in our legislature so as to preserve sinecures for professional scientists, I have to confess that my instant assumption was that the THE had misunderstood, and perhaps even deliberately.

But it turns out that really is what CaSE are calling for.

I hope the editorial staff at THE, and Paul Jump in particular, will accept this post by way of an apology.
