I am truly saddened that Mousa Qous, who ran the African Community Society in the Old City of Jerusalem, has passed away. He was only in his early 60s. May he rest in peace and may his family and friends find solace in his memory.

If the UK was savvy it would be trying to steal some of the thunder from US universities while trump/musk takes a wrecking ball to American higher ed. But instead we get this race to the bottom

I don't know why I bother saying these things again and again, but: (1) Cutting won't save you, it'll make things worse and it'll be redundancies again in a couple of years (2) You can't make national infrastructure like this depend on short-term student numbers. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
