The Arts Council in Wales is the same, and they force their values onto artists. So you have to keep regurgitating the same waffle to get the funding. I'm disabled but don't "identify as disabled". Could I put a little spin on my work to make it about disability? No! Because I'm an adult with the same range of interests in the world as an able bodied person. Preoccupation and self-consciousness don't inspire interesting art. Thirty years ago, we would have described this as okay for sixth form students ... but not serious or engaging enough to deserve funding. Arts Council Wales ask all artists to make a statement about what the Welsh language means to them. Truthfully, I don't get many opportunities to speak Welsh, but that's not what they want to hear. They also flat out refuse to fund anyone who wants to make work about "Class". We're in the Valleys! We're not allowed to use art to explain to our children and grandchildren which exploited demographic actually built everything, as far as the eye can see.

First, many university professors and researchers use funding as an opportunity to take free holidays, gain promotions, a sabbatical (not working) and build networks centred around their egos and pride. In most fields, you must often align yourself with prominent researchers and do free work for them. Only then may you join their circles and secure funding. However, if you oppose their ideas, you risk being ostracised and never receiving promotions. Sabine, a physicist, critiques modern research trends quite effectively. She points out that much of the research today could be more worthwhile.

Well said. People don't realise how pervasive the hustle is

Because the system incentivizes research. If they don't do some type of research, then they lose their funding quota. I don't agree with their intentions, but if they don't do research, then they lose funding. Obviously, many professors take advantage of the system.

So what were the conclusions and recommendations?

[@aldunlop4622]

The look you guys gave each other had me rolling.

[@jenn-y5n]

The only thing that honestly makes very simple sense to me around all of this is, it's basically just LARGE groups of people just making things up to get money without actually working. When I was going to college, it was INFESTED with people doing this sort of stuff. They sit there and fill out papers with stupid ideas and really believe they solved all the world's problems and deserve unlimited money for their stunning intellect and one-of-a-kind work ethic.

[@HarryBuxley]

This is absolutely the case, the other part of it is that governments for the last 80 odd years have embraced 'modern monetary theory' which has given elite bankers and their friends access to unlimited money which they print and give out to their friends, while putting it on our tab for the future. If money was limited then there would have to be some accountability and return but since we are now being gas-lit into believing that "government debt is fine its not the same as people debt, we are just managing the economy and creating jobs" there is no accountability. This money flows down to these type of people and institutions while national debt across the west balloons out of control and the people that benefit the most are the ones who have no principles and go along with bs and unsustainable practises for their own benefit at a cost to everyone else.

Thankfully, my local theatre in Lincolnshire lost their Arts Council funding, which has resulted in the theatre company putting on more mainstream shows local people want to watch. The theatre is far busier now.

Please, investigate Canadian universities for the same nonsense spending. I’m sure it will be even stranger.

[@DraftySatyr]

@@FavenslyShop-b2s I don't believe that it is 'corruption' in the traditional sense of corruption, malfeasance, fraud and dishonesty, although some of that (inevitably) still takes place because, well, human nature. It is worse than that, it is a corruption of the mind, spirit and morality. It is oppressive and, at times, outright threatening.

John Money at John Hopkins University. The subjects of his study, two brothers, both ended up committing self elimination.

[@stuartegrin7543]

Why would anybody be surprised by this? It’s been going on for decades

[@arkatub]

Yeah, most people are vaguely aware of this stuff and don't know what can be done about it.

[@beckee6282]

Because most of the population likes to live in la la land and pretend that those in charge actually care about their wellbeing and aren’t outright committing theft and fraud

[@robertholland7558]

Centuries more like it.

[@notyourordinarygran]

It has only gotten worse since we opened up universities to, basically, anyone. You no longer have to be a serious academic to find yourself floating on a sea of research funding. Can we go back to when intelligent people went to university and researched important stuff like medicine, aeronautics and ways to improve people's lives? University isn't for we very one.

[@annieroute66]

Wow what a great interview. I will be watching out for Charlotte. Opened my eyes to quite a few things. Agree with her one topic everyone should be talking about.

[@marysheedy5709]

Funding bodies will probably lose their annual budget if they don't spend it all every year so they panic-fund crap.
