```The Australian National University's decision to cancel plans for a bachelor of Western civilisation has highlighted the rampant anti-Western bias that exists at many Australian universities.

But the administration's decision to cave in to internal pressure should have surprised no one. It is merely the latest in a long line of incidents that expose the perverse incentive structure Australian universities face. Because of this, universities will almost always abandon intellectual freedom and viewpoint diversity whenever it brings them into conflict with the vocal minority of ideological enforcers who believe our universities belong to them.

Given the generous taxpayer funding our universities receive, this is unacceptable. The only way to correct this problem is for the government to ensure universities' financial interests align with upholding the values of intellectual freedom, free speech, and viewpoint diversity.```

```This might be tolerable if these universities were entirely privately funded - but that's not the case. The federal government gives Australian universities more than $16.9bn of taxpayers' money every year. In 2016 alone, the ANU received $632.8 million from Australian taxpayers.```

To be fair, what are you going to hire a Bachelor in Western Civilization for?

They're already flirting with Russia, so this will continue to nudge them in that direction

On the flipside, flirting with Russia is also a good reason not to give them your best tech

After they shot one of their airplanes for no reason, i don't see Russia selling them nothing they can't hack or disable or a monkey model
