It might not be anything new under the sun, but I’m again compelled to express my gratitude as a journal editor to colleagues across the field who, despite facing many challenges within their own institutions and more systemically across the sector, take the time to peer-review, & do so with care.

It’s that time of year again, when university-educated journalists whose children all go to university tell their readers that nobody should go to university. These three pieces are from the last 24 hours alone.

‘A lot of people know I did two degrees: one in engineering, one in law. But while I can’t remember how to do parallel integration, I can remember how to fix a broken computer—which I learned on my apprenticeship.’ So Badenoch’s capacity to remember some things & not others determines her HE policy?

Stop doing this! Whoever is paying @timeshighered.bsky.social‬ for story after story is also funding environmental vandalism on a catastrophic scale. This isn't journalism, it's naive ethical bankruptcy - and intellectually and pedagogically obtuse.

So random “free speech campaigners” now get to determine our syllabi? This explains the recent FOI request re trigger warnings. It would be nice to say unis should reject such nonsense but the threat of fines cf. Sussex means Uni Execs are scared. Primarily this is a stick to beat Arts&Hums. Again.

'The Office for Students (OfS) was accused of leaving institutions scant time to prepare when it published guidelines on securing free speech a month ago, while the regulator is yet to address other parts of the legislation, such as a new duty to promote free speech.' 1/3
