The President of the US has directly compared the actions of the US Navy in the Strait of Hormuz to piracy:
"We took over the ship… the cargo… the oil. It's a very profitable business… We're sort of like pirates, but we're not playing games."
Even at this point, it seems absolutely unbelievable.
Departments and degree programmes are being shut down and thousands of academics are at risk of losing their jobs. What's happening in UK HE is the direct result of years of marketisation of the sector and poor management, but it's faculty and students who will pay the price. For how long?
The marketisation of higher education (HE) has never been about making HE more inclusive:
"Vice-chancellors have said they may need to cut hardship support for impoverished students and reduce outreach activities aimed at disadvantaged groups if the dire funding struggles at universities continue."
