“No one goes into academia to drive a Ferrari or live in a mansion. They do it because they love it. They don’t want to be striking. They just want a little bit of job security,” --- Theo Warshaw, Edinburgh University #HigherEd #teaching #student #strike #cuts www.theguardian.com/education/20...
Edinburgh joins UK universities heading for strikes as cuts spread through entire sector
Students at Edinburgh, Dundee and Nottingham face a term without any teaching as sector struggles with rising financial uncertainty

For further context: almost everyone in the Faculty of Arts is at risk of redundancy. Music, Modern Languages & American & Canadian Studies courses to close completely. History will not close but staff numbers will be significantly reduced. This is what 'right-sizing' looks like, apparently.

"there has never been anyone as hip and fearless. Hip, because he seemed to know everything that could be done with it. Fearless, because he was always trying to do it, unafraid to explore the outer reaches of what could even be thought of as music." On Miles Davis; the centenary of his birth. #jazz
Miles Davis is 100 – and this is why he still matters
A fearless, restless pioneer, the jazz legend was an imperfect man, but a musician of unique genius

What Will It Take to Get A.I. Out of Schools?
“I find myself speaking with my kids about A.I. in the same terms that we might discuss a creepy neighbor who lives down the block,” Jessica Winter writes. Read her report on the push for A.I. in education.
