I am genuinely baffled and distressed as to why the UK government is intent on destroying UK's genuinely world-leading universities, who bring £265 billion into the economy and support more than 250,000 jobs. This tax will kill us. www.standard.co.uk/news/politic...

This week on Wonkhe: The KEF dashboards are out and there is a trove of evidence about how universities make their places better and the economy stronger. James Coe asks whether it's time to better reward this work and fund knowledge exchange differently.
