UNSW’s '“3+” timetable, featuring three 10-week terms and a shorter summer session, will be replaced by a “flex-semester” calendar of two substantive 12-week semesters and optional six-week summer and winter terms.' By listening to staff & students, they'd have avoided avoided this costly mistake.

The crisis at Dundee requires asking some hard questions and knowing what to do with the answer. Yesterday, I sat with the some senior staff at @dundeeuni.bsky.social and asked them questions about the so-called recovery process, on behalf of staff and students.

Dundee University's external auditors and accounts teams did not flag any concerns at all. Yet the university is basically not a going concern. Just shows how much you can trust the financial architecture and reporting of the Higher Ed sector. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Turns out those ordinary families could make a few more sacrifices to keep their kids at private schools. The below is doubtless true of the many other threats that were made by the non-state educating classes. www.theguardian.com/education/20...
