Chief exec of OfS 'said the OfS believes there are 24 institutions at risk of exiting the market in the next 12 months, seven of which are large providers with more than 3,000 students. There are another 25 or so institutions of various sizes at risk over a two- to three-year period, she added.'
Seven ‘large providers’ at risk of going under in the next year
Skills minister says no higher education institutions are at imminent risk of collapse this year but OfS confirms more than 20 providers are being closely monitored

An aerial photo of Liddington hillfort in our collectons inspired artist and archaeologist Rose Ferraby to create two prints now in our exhibition - Liddington in Winter / Summer. Different layers of paint in the print created different effects. #HillfortsWednesday

Fwiw Japanese pumpkins cook down sweet enough for pie puree. The trick is to roast them before you puree then let the puree sit in a seive with a weight on it overnight to get most of the water out

I’m dealing with some sudden financial strain, so I’m looking for a bit of freelance work. If you know anyone who needs illustration or design work, I’d really appreciate referrals. I’m also planning to open commissions and update my ko-fi/carrd soon. I appreciate the support! amasugiru.carrd.co

Former #ANU Vice-Chancellor, Genevieve Bell, will receive remuneration of more than half a million a year for the next five years - despite taking 12 months off.

For context, that's more than ANU hoped to 'save' annually by disestablishing the School of Music. 🫠 @nteunion.bsky.social

We have no answers from our institutions as to why Go8 universities endorsed BCA's regressive EPBC recommendations

But 90 of us have signed an 'Independent statement on the Group of Eight’s position on EPBC Act reforms'

🙏 Prof Justine Bell-James for writing & coordinating the independent statement
Independent statement on the Group of Eight’s position on EPBC Act reforms The federal Parliament is currently considering amendments to the flagship federal environmental legislation, the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (‘EPBC Act’). This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to strengthen environmental protections to reverse Australia’s current trajectory of extinctions and biodiversity loss. We are academics at the institutions in the Group of Eight (Go8), with expertise in biodiversity conservation science, climate science, policy, economics and law. We support amendments to the EPBC Act to strengthen protections for biodiversity and remove ministerial discretion and legal loopholes, in order to create a level playing field for businesses, and make environmental protection and recovery central to all decision-making processes under the Act. We note that the Go8 has signed a statement by the Business Council of Australia endorsing amendments that will weaken the Act’s protection for the environment. This statement does not reflect the world leading conservation research being carried out at our institutions. It also does not reflect the extensive evidence-based advice provided by experts based at Go8 institutions during the review and consultation processes over the past five years. We disagree with this statement, and the Go8’s endorsement of it.

Yeah in EU/UK the importance of the digger as knowledge maker has changed drastically since mid 20th. Not so much in other (colonised) places.

As a key transitional/ confirmatory text, i offer this 1956 bbc doco

Film of the archaeological excavations at Jericho. (1956)

I'm sure you've twigged this but i think there's a clear parallel here to the employment of local diggers in e.g. S. America, Anatolia, SW Asia. Clear hierarchy in what is perceived as skilled work and so who does that work

As someone who flies super long haul in cattle class: wear whatever makes it bearable. The whole thing is undignified and uncomfortable enough as it is without worrying about the fashion police.

My go to: 2 pairs of socks, winter leggings, 2 v. soft shirts a hoodie, a scarf and fingerless gloves

Is it acceptable to wear pyjamas on a flight?

61% of Brits say no, echoing US transport secretary Sean Duffy who criticised PJ-clad passengers yesterday

However, generations differ: 71% of 18-24yr olds say it is acceptable, compared to 11% of over-65s
