Superb stuff. Really taking it to that fake. You never see it here, for lots of reasons, but everything Farage says is just inviting a counterattack that leaves him mute.

Jan told me that you had. I look forward to reading it.

What’s great about a Kingston uni graduate, according to the new website? They will work for lower wages. WTF.

Minutes of last Office for Students board meeting. 'Risks are escalating across the sector... providers under serious financial pressure'; 'sector finances... towards the most pessimistic end of the scenarios we modelled in May 2024... increas[ing]... risk of sudden market exit of a large provider'.

Radboud University strike today, against huge proposed cuts to national education budget, tremendous turn out and a very lively march through town. Respect to the Dutch unions and students and staff. Also, free coffee and buns.

Not in those cases, no.

If that is true it says little about REF but a lot about people’s prejudices.

UK universities are in crisis.

Like a sense of the temperature in UK Higher Education right now? Take a read of this furious open letter from students and researchers at Kingston University, which faces losing its famous (and precious) Centre for Research in Modern European Philosophy: www.versobooks.com/en-gb/blogs/...

Every time I hear this nonsense, I think:
1. This person's never taught in HE;
2. They have no faith in young people's own ability to think;
3. They haven't been near uni since graduation;
4. They think they live in the US;
5. They don't get that v little HE is in Arts and Hums;
6. Hahaha, 🤡

3500 scientists, biologists and experts in human sexual development write to the US government saying that sex isn't binary
