Today I got my author copies of the book based on my PhD. It's been many years in the making and I'm so proud finally to hold it in my hands www.bloomsbury.com/uk/radical-r...

Congratulations 🎉 Can't wait to read it!

I really think universities underestimate how true this is for a lot of students and their parents. They don’t want us to try to pretend to be cool. They want us to be a bit dusty, and very serious. Enthusiastic, definitely! But also nerdy. We’re selling them ACADEMIA.

I’m witnessing the deliberate starvation of Gaza’s children – why is the world letting it happen? | Nick Maynard A permanent ceasefire, the free and safe flow of aid, and the lifting of the blockade are needed now – all could be achieved with political will, says UK surgeon Nick Maynard

“The UK government’s continued complicity in Israel’s atrocities is unconscionable, and I do not want to spend another day operating on children who have been shot and starved by a military our government supports.” Devastating reporting.

Self-inflicted embarrassment for the University of Warwick — first it rebrands hyper-generically, then someone totally unhinged decides the *front page of the uni website* should say ‘Learn more about our Brand’.

• Discontinue the idea of introducing a levy on higher education provider income from international students. • Reduce visa costs to ensure they are at least as competitive in cost as other leading science nations, and preferably have a target to become the mos competitive in the G7. • Provide immediate clarity that the current time length for Indefinite Leave to Remain is kept in place for current and future Global Talent visa holders and their dependents.

We are calling on the UK Government to not introduce a levy on higher education provider income from international students, reduce visa costs to attract global talent, and to review higher education funding to create a sustainable model

tl;dr (but do read Hetan's analysis because it's outstanding) — the Universities Minster has no fecking clue about the financial catastrophe facing UK universities, what and who has caused it, and how to fix it.

And is not listening.

This is terrifying.

Just came here to say that I’m truly sickened by the extreme anti-migration turn of Starmer & his government whose Immigration White Paper makes the frankly astonishing claim that net migration has caused “incalculable” damage to this country.
