Iwas speaking to a university last Monday. “Oh”, they sighed. “We’ve just received a Michelle”. Such is the university minister’s keenness for correspondence, her name has become synonymous with the letters themselves among some in the sector, joining such neologisms as the Streisand Effect, and a Ratner moment.
The latest missive was of course concerning the Race Equality Charter. But, like an overeager penpal, some universities observed that they hadn’t even had time to reply to her last message. And she left her cell, her home phone and her pager on the bottom, as well.
