Wot no visas? And presumably they think they can just milk rich Indians who can suck up new extra charges?
And "...seeking new funding streams" 🤦♂️
Patronising stupidity.
Again, almost as if govt doesn't know what universities are...

Q: Why is big tech so thoughtless about human-environment relations?
A: Because it lives in its own productivity bubble.
Even if the UK's national grid were to go fully green, that wouldn't touch the sides of the problem.

Currently reading @julianhoffman.bsky.social Lifelines & reminiscing about my own trip not just to Prespa in 2015 but also to Ioannina in 2008 and its magnificent Lesser Kestrels (Falco naumanii), my 1st encounter with the species. A record shot from back then: dainty as parrots not raptors.

Love this photograph in the Tillmans show, entitled 'Love Life, 2016'.
The message seems to be, 'DO get into a car in London with a strange man offering a posh box of ripe cherries'. 😆
