Farage’s plans to abolish Indefinite Leave to Remain would ruin lives and tear families apart.

Rather than dismissing Reform’s xenophobic proposals as 'unrealistic' or 'unaffordable', our government should be clear that they are cruel and unjust. We must stand up for migrants' rights.

The unintended consequences of decoupling outputs from their authors - portability, fairness and diversity.

Portability within REF remains key to fairness
Maria Delgado, Nandini Das, and Miles Padgett warn that separating research outputs from the researchers who created them in REF 2029 would undermine the integrity of the whole research environment

Sacked academics face an unjustifiable “restraint of trade” if they are prevented from entering outputs for a new employer into the next Research Excellence Framework, senior researchers in the creative arts industries have argued

#AcademicSky #highered
New REF rules ‘risk leaving researchers’ careers in limbo’
‘Existential crisis’ in arts and humanities exacerbates risk that axed academics will not be able to find new roles, subject associations fear
