OU dress awful!
Graham Farmelo citing “Sartorial inelegance” as the number one academic sin in the THE:
“No institution has done more recently than The Open University to consolidate the reputation of academics as the worst-dressed people in the country. The BBC ably assisted, repeating OU programmes annually, with the embarrassment at the clothing choices on display sometimes rising above the human pain threshold.
Even if the OU had recruited only sharply dressed presenters, most people would still believe that dons have the dress sense of Mr Bean”
Surely he is not referring to the new Vice-Chancellor?

Bad =

Open Prison
Duncan Campbell, writing in the Guardian last Saturday, referred to the Open University benefiting a generation of north London armed robbers in the 1970s.
" Meeting one of them for a drink one night in the pub, I noticed that he was reading Virginia Woolf's To The Lighthouse. I mentioned this , with a snigger, to another armed robber who replied, without drawing breath: 'Not her best' "
