The core trilma here remains the same - the govt needs to accept one of three things: high student migration, higher domestic student fees (or higher taxes to fund universities) or university bankruptcies. Those are the only options, given where we are. Pick one.

The redundancies across our universities go far beyond the headlines, because they are using every other means to shed staff too. You can see one route to this below. The destruction of jobs is far worse than it appears. 👇

'In the letter, made public on 10 February, Julia Black...says the “range of cutbacks we are seeing across universities is leading to a severe loss in UK capability".' Nearly 100 HEIs are “contracting or closing” social sciences, humanities & the arts disciplines “in the face of a financial crisis”.

We got a message from the university to remove any use of the "DEI", "diversity", "equity", or "inclusion" from all public-facing documents. They said that even "biodiversity" is being flagged by the federal government. We live in the dumbest timeline.

Today I got to use an Apple Vision Pro for like 30 minutes, and I came away with two, immediate thoughts right in a row: 1.) “This is, without doubt, one of the most stunning new technologies I’ve ever used. Absolutely extraordinary.” 2.) “I have absolutely zero uses for this in my work or life”
