I'd wondered the same about Oxford - whether the PPE tutors feel a sense of shame at how their alumni are showing their ignorance, making highly public unforced errors and exercising amazingly poor judgement at nearly every turn....
It seems from the outside, that all the learning and listening stops on graduation day...
Either that or the intake are just a bunch of fuckwits and there's nothing any tutors/lecturers can do about it

Yes, I suppose I'm curious about how comfortable they feel about their association with this particular generation of students.
The Head's a good example - the 2010-20's are an era of Etonian prime ministers, does he feel Johnson is a reflection on his leadership at all? Do the PPE-type subject teachers recognise the influence they've had on current events? Is the economics teacher happy about having taught those responsible for such economicaly illiterate policies?
There's presumably some professional pride for teachers at having a past student achieve any degree of greatness (right word?). I wonder how they celebrate this cohort.
