Emeritus Prof Christopher May (chrismayla6@zirk.us)'s status on Thursday, 27-Feb-2025 05:55:23 JST Emeritus Prof Christopher May
Another week, another university in trouble and looking to cut staff; this time University of Edinburgh.
When there is a group looking at how to re-engineer the UK's 'soft power' & policies are intended to promote 'growth' & innovation, the continuing crisis in Higher Education suggests the political class has something against universities, as, actually, if you want to rebuild soft-power & push innovation universities are a pretty good bet!
