Back to the future for the TEF? Back to school for OfS?
OfS is again flirting with the idea of linking tuition fees to TEF outcomes – a proposal that, as Paul Ashwin argues, is as unworkable now as it was a decade ago. OfS is again flirting with the idea o...

UCU stands with trans people, today and every day.

The Supreme Court ruling is not just wrong, it’s dangerous.

We will never stop fighting for trans rights and equality.

Trans women have always coexisted amongst the rest of society.
The narrative that the Supreme Court ruling is about women being unsafe due to trans women is misleading. There is no data which proves trans women pose a safety threat to women. It is a media narrative and it is false.

To take the analogy further, using GenAI for analysis of qualitative research data can be like gobbling food without tasting it. The announcement 'GenAI wrote my I poem in seconds' has led to narrative research workshop discussions about researchers being fully present and immersed in the process.
