Finally got round to emailing my MSP and Minister for Higher and Further Education, Ben Macpherson, and my MP, Tracy Gilbert, about the (mostly unseen and unsung) redundancies in HE, especially in Edinburgh. It will be interesting to hear their reponses.

Interesting list of amendments for Tertiary Education and Training (Funding and Governance) (Scotland) Bill. wonkhe.com/wonk-corner/...
Maybe an expanded SFC would mop up some of the HE staff losing their jobs just now?

Amendments are in on the Tertiary Education and Training (Funding and Governance) (Scotland) Bill
Post-school reform continues in Scotland, where ministers have been attempting to strike a balance between "juicing up" the Scottish Funding Council's role while preserving university autonomy.

A lovely and unexpected start to the week. I left for my walk in the rain, stormy clouds above, but ever hopeful it would improve. The sun did just manage to break through for just a few moments. Glastonbury Tor this morning, about half an hour after sunrise.
