Very sad to hear about the death of Prof. Simon James - an excellent scholar and a kind human being. My thoughts are with his family, friends and colleagues.

Editorial: β€˜The government should not stand aloof as a crisis unfolds in our universities. A new settlement is needed’. Good to see a measured, informed, and supportive media response to the crisis in HE.
