'Greater participation, first through removing gender barriers, and then by tackling class issues, and the armature of publication, public engagement, and open science have taken us further away from the sequestration of education and knowledge. We should not take this for granted.' Wise words.

Hard-hitting and reflective piece. It would be a public service to higher education in the UK and internationally if @timeshighered.bsky.social made it free to read, even if only for 24 hours. Kudos to the authors: Anonymous, Martin Mills (Aberdeen), Nick Megoran (Newcastle) & Les Back (Glasgow).

In the last two academic years, 2022/2024, at least 17,600 jobs have been lost in UK Higher Education. 2024/2025 is set to be far worse. Had this been any other industry there would be outrage and gov action. As ever, young people don't count and neither do university workers. Labour doesn't care.

Awful news from Cardiff, solidarity to staff facing this terrible decision. Languages at Cardiff has always been at the forefront of our field, particularly their mentoring programme to support MFL uptake in schools. And the irony of proposing a School of Global Humanities without Modern Languages
