I would have been more surprised if they hadn't

Not me at all,they seem taken aback that having gained power and then misusing that power amazed and puzzled they are criticised for it.

Seven British Nobel laureates have joined the backlash from academics over plans to scrap laws tackling "cancel culture" on university campuses.
In one of her first acts as education secretary, Bridget Phillipson indefinitely suspended legislation that would have forced universities to protect the right of legal free speech on campus or face sanctions.
Her decision has provoked a backlash from lecturers who have warned it will stifle academic freedom in controversial areas such as transgender rights. They have now been backed by seven Nobel laureates including Sir John Gurdon, whose pioneering work in cloning led to the creation of Dolly the sheep.

Phillipson is also facing a legal challenge against the decision amid claims that she exceeded her authority by indefinitely suspending an act of parliament. Amid signs of a potential rethink, Phillipson told MPs this week that she wanted to listen to a "range of views" on the issue.
"I take having strong freedom of expression in our universities, and students being exposed to a range of views — some of which they might find difficult or disagree with — extremely seriously," she said.
She has previously said that she suspended the act because she was worried about the burden it would place on universities to investigate complaints at a time of financial strain. She also warned that it "could expose students to harm and appalling hate speech".
But more than 600 academics have signed a letter to Phillipson calling on her to reconsider the decision, warning that a failure to act would allow staff and students to be "hounded, censured and silenced" for holding legitimate, legal views.
Alongside Gurdon they include other Nobel prizewinners such as Sir Peter Ratcliffe, professor of clinical medicine at Oxford University and Sir Gregory Winter, the biologist whose work on monoclonal antibodies has led to the development of treatments for diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and multiple sclerosis.
