Oh sweet lord.
“…facilitators could face ‘hostility’ from students who feel they have been ‘cornered’ or had their privacy violated.”
It is just a wee bit condescending and intrusive. Let’s hope these people are punched unconscious and their bodies set on fire, preferably in public view as a warning to others.

How depressing.
This Daniel Hayward (46 year old Masters student who has been given a job as a facilitator) said: "It's an opportunity to interact with lots of people, hear their stories, about the experiences they've had, hear the questions they're asking."
Erm. Couldn't he just go to the pub and chat to people like a normal human being? Clearly he feels he needs a sinecure to socialise.
What a tit.
