My guess is that most academic rights policies were made by people who
didn't understand and/or think about the issues at the time and find it
more trouble than it's worth to them to change them. It's very tedious to
have to keep fighting this lot but we have to. There is also a tradition in
academia of re-invention and reinventing the same wrong solution.
