It should certainly cause a lot more of a genuine concern (I won't say panic) than we see, and lays a much clearer case for cross-collaboration than universities are used to.
Firstly, it's a travesty what has been happening to HE in the UK.
Secondly, watching from a far with still a foot there, the decline of the university sector in the UK is a few steps ahead of what may be down the road for HE in similar systems, particularly, Australia and Canada.
Yup. And sadly, this has been pretty much the consistent result shown in educational research for the last 60 years.
This tells us the system has not been prioritised for social mobility.
I don't consider myself that much of a radical, but I do think that our being about to have our first "trillionaire" while there are still people dying from not being able to afford food, housing, or healthcare is an outrage and proof of how damaged our society has become.
