Save Essex: Stop the Cuts, Save Southend, Protect Education
These proposed cuts mean people losing their livelihoods in a higher education sector already facing a jobs crisis, where alternative employment is scarce and careers built over many years can be destroyed overnight. For students, the consequences are overcrowded classes, delayed feedback, reduced support, and mounting pressure on remaining staff. The closure of Southend would also be a devastating loss for students, local communities, and access to higher education in the region. All of this...
HGourlayUCLStories suggesting our Labour politicians didn't expect to win the last election seem credible when you consider they have done nothing to undo previous governments' idiocy in setting up the OfS: https://www.theguardian.com/education/2025/dec/22/office-for-students-university-of-greater-manchester-investigation-phil-brickell-mp #ukhighereducation

Some of the trends are similar in the UK (where we are attacking International Students through the immigration system and general evilness of Labour chasing Reform)

Jonathan EmmesediThe debauching of UK higher education.
>> Universities are large publicly subsidised institutions, as vulnerable to self-perpetuating cycles of dysfunction as any other. It is reckless to think they will course-correct under their own momentum.....Unless and until academics identify a specific, realistic mechanism for their own regulation, any complaints about externally imposed reforms have little credibility.<<
Although the authors rightly draw attention to a real problem of ideological conformism in some humanities departments, the cure they seem to be proposing, government interference in the content of humanities research and education in the name of "accountability", would be far worse than the disease, as it would signal the end of academic freedom in UK higher education.
The authors do not help their case by sprinkling it with irrelevant right wing talking points; for example, student campaigning against the Cecil Rhodes statue at Oxford, far from representing a suffocating "wokery", was actually part of a vigorous and healthy public debate about British imperial history and public art. Isn't that just the kind of public debate humanities academics should welcome?
Although this incident happened in 2018, I only learned about it in a recent issue of the TLS.
If the case is fully and accurately reported, it represents an absurd and repressive abuse of authority by a university which, alas, can only fuel the hostility towards higher education currently stoked by Reform and others on the right.
