Do lecturers need to write good English?

Is it really a problem if a lecturer's English is poor? Many brilliant individuals from Europe and Asia have arrived in both Britain and the USA to work and have made valuable contributions to both societies. They have also made immense contributions to knowledge. Well, perhaps but nevertheless surely at college and university level all lecturers should be able to compose adequate English and if they can't they should receive help from an experienced English teacher. Teachers in primary and secondary schools are expected to be able to write good English, so why not at colleges and universities? In fact in the best universities a lecturer has to have excellent English, only in third and fourth rate educational facilities (East London, London Metropolitan, South Bank, Middlesex, Bedfordshire) do the authorities turn a blind eye. In many private colleges the students do not know if the lecturer is writing good English or not.

 A further problem concerns the integrity of many foreign lecturers who far too often lie about their qualifications. These commonly display poor English and by that can be identified. These buy assignments and pass them over as their own or in the recent past employed cut and paste and their lecturers turned a blind eye. In each private college there seems to be one or two senior academics whose educational backgrounds cannot sustain investigation.

I remember a middle-aged Indian woman from a wealthy background who claimed a doctorate in psychology but seemed to know nothing about the subject.
