Two reasons: 1. Educational. Because this is (or should be!) against school policy. The lecturers deserve to work without hate speech. The student should be confronted. 2. Preventative. Non-anonymous feedback on content (not violations) will deter such hateful stuff.

Yes, it is very tricky! That was my whole point
But I do agree in that they (we all) must be made accountable, no doubt. -
Also, to be fair, students raise all their concerns in class, and especially to the TAing PhD students, if in any way interactive like a practical class or one with seminars, almost always and without exception in my experience. So again you know who is complaining about what.
-
Obvi, my experiences and not universal and teaching/TAing 6 courses a year for 4 years at BBK is again not a universal experience, but I genuinely do not believe there is such a thing as anonymous when it's students you spend hours with. You just know who writes what if you care.
-
And even if you don't know who writes what, the way people write can give things away about their personality or minority (or otherwise) status. Anonymity in these contexts to me at least seems like a fig leaf. You cannot really appeal to it.
-
To truly protect students you must actually have proper rules and training in place not just say "oh hey it's anonymised so it's unbiased".
-
That is absolutely true! Besides, they are bloody adults so perhaps we should not be that much concerned with anonymity but the fairness.
-
that might be the result of treating students as defenceless kids. More seriously we (my generation, not yours) have infantilised society.
