In my judgement and contemporary experience bears this out, Queen's University deliberately humiliated and systematically degraded generations of Catholic working class students and destroyed their lives, depriving them of their cherished career choices.
I am thinking of wordy buffoons such as Barry Malcolm,Colin Campbell,Herby Wallace,Brian Childs and Brice Dickson. As for the female tutors in my university years,they hadn't a clue about what they were talking. They were playing silly games to curry favour with university authorities and the unionist politicians at whose initiative their posts were awarded.
My studied observation is what it was then. In controversial fields,the unionist bimbos and Castle Catholics were given preferential treatment. I am thinking in particular of people in my echelon such as Rafferty,Walsh, Doran and Larkin.
The record is clear. It could not be clearer. The dunces and know-nothin's with no glowing academic records before their admission to the Law Faculty were given 'top marks' for bland ignorance of their chosen field. Call-girls graduated with superior 'qualifications'.
....
With hindsight,my concerns are somewhat frivolous. Times have moved on. Pro- British Interlopers and wall-flowers who discriminated on political,social,religious and national grounds must go in the next couple of years and leave our shores. They, like other university lecturers and professors, have overstayed their welcome. There can be no reconciliation between Gael and Gall. The problems have been here for generations,if not centuries. I say to strangers and collaborators,"GO! AND GO NOW!"

Contradictions that arise from real life
While the Bible excoriates the elders and Pharisees (lay priests),is not a paternal father-figure such as a Presbyterian Dean a more agreeable,if strict and over-wrought patron than a lazy curate who you would need a physic of salts to digest and get rid of when he calls to your door unannounced or a ranting ,chanting 'Irish' teacher?

Some pieces of disputation
Queen's University represented an evil cradling for Ulster Unionism. That way of life was based on high expectations for Catholics and,for me,negligible outcomes, attrition and entrapment in pseudo-gang activities played out by pawns of the Southern Government such as Aidan Donaldson and Paddy Mc Dermott and Michael Farrell and sundry others on the Irish Secret Service list of paid agents in the North.

Queen's degrees are not very highly regarded outside Northern Ireland because the lecturers are all Protestant. They are told by their superiors to mark down the astute and gifted because it is a clash of opposites. The best students are Catholics not those scoring high marks. All top lecturers receive money from the police for information and the police are particularly interested in humiliating Catholic students. An educated person is the only person who can get the better of a policeman unless he is a medical student. The latter are brought up to obey the police. Trinity is the same as Queen's in the South. Protestant students are given the best degrees there but very few of them ever get work or are gainfully employed after their time at Trinity. UCD graduates hold a monopoly on salaried employment in the South.
