"If you’ve watched the Netflix sitcom The Chair you’ll remember the scene in
which Professor Joan Hambling burns her student evaluations, after admitting
she hadn’t read any of them since the 1980s. Many of us in academia whooped in
delight when Professor Hambling lit that match.

We know exactly how she feels. For LGBTIQ+ people in particular, student
experience or satisfaction surveys can be a source of distress as they provide
students with an anonymous means to discriminate against and harass queer
academics. At times, these surveys are little better than
university-facilitated hate speech."
