Just tried this and I don’t think you can, but copy/paste from somewhere else works.

I met Dickie Bird several times waiting for degree ceremonies to start @sheffieldhallamuni.bsky.social. He attended these as often as he could, saying that to show up was the least he could do after the honour of being awarded honorary degrees. He was good company. A lovely man. R.I.P.

I used to do that until I set 2 alarms.

Absolutely. But the Bannan news lightens the despair a bit. What a man!

A New Regulatory Framework for University Cuts

This is a really interesting article

There's some truth that the sector is being killed by cuts. Each one has its own rationale, however robust and valid, but there's no overall assessment of the cumulative impact; and in England at least no-one with a duty to do this

We can’t leave Andrew Tate to educate our working-class boys The need to rethink how we support working-class boys has never been more urgent

For most young men who are eligible for Free School Meals, retaking level 2 Maths and English at college is the next step after dissapointment at GCSE.

It would be wonderful if more colleagues from the Further Education sector could become involved with Boys' Impact

It was incredible. That was just a grass verge!
