I can find no academics who even try to answer these questions, never mind ask them. In 30 years, not a single academic has pointed to literature I might have missed that poses and answers these questions that are essential for proper stewardship of HE. Get your heads out of your assumptions and do your job.

@AMPL_AMPD Just testing to see if you are still blocking me for trying to get you to do your job and for trying to improve higher education.

Do you know how many lives your ignorant assumption of the institutional model has destroyed, over the centuries that universities and colleges have been the sole facilitators of higher education? Bet that number would dwarf the cause you rattle on about in this moment in history. Get your head out of your ass and try harder.

@ACEducation @HowardU HE does build, but don't ignorantly confuse HE with higher education institutions. HEIs are tools for provision of the social good, not identical to it. And these tools are broken and inferior. Try harder.

@ucu "fully funded" For this year? Is that unlimited funding? Is it funding immune to the turmoil of global economics? All you do is make the system more vulnerable the more money you demand. Duh!

✊ “It’s time to build an education service for the many, not the few, not just the privileged.” - UCU president Maria Chondrogianni at #TUC2025, moving our motion for a fully funded national education service. ✅ Delegates backed the motion unanimously. 🎥 highlights ⬇️

"privileged" A relative term that those who are privileged often mistakenly apply. I have no need for a university to provide the higher education I am more than qualified to provide to anyone who wants it, but it is against the law for me to do so outside the legal apparatus of a university employer-enroller. The term is relative and the system you all assume is by design a privileged elitism. Try harder.

The decline of the liberal arts is not only tragic, it's dangerous. How can citizens be expected to rise above their differences and work together during a crisis, when they don't understand - or actively disdain - US citizenship? ✒️:@NASOrg's Ian Oxvenad 📰: @MindingCampus

@ucu @SkyNews So, the tertiary system you assume with ignorance is devastated by a drop in international student tuition revenue and you all think the problem is the latest political upheaval (or the next economic problem) and not the entire system itself. You people are morons.

As we warned, the government’s short-sighted anti-immigration policy caused a 44% drop in overseas student applications. The result? A destabilised higher education sector already under huge pressure. Yesterday’s @SkyNews press review:

@ucu @DrJoGrady What's doomed to fail is desperate reliance on international fees for solvency. Turn your lens on the HEIs of the UK that undermine integrity, quality and equity of access by selling degrees abroad like handbags or open campuses in countries like China. You're lost. Try harder.

"Turning universities into an arm of the border force is shameful & doomed to fail. This policy could force unis to bar students from places like Palestine or Ukraine." @DrJoGrady Labour must stop fuelling anti-migrant rhetoric & start backing education. tr.ee/NY5n3t

"Buildings don't teach and campuses don't do research. We do." I agree, which is why I created a higher education model that eliminates the institutional employer, as it dramatically reduces the public cost: bit.ly/ModelViewOfPSA Academics and students do not need universities and colleges, and keeping them as the exclusive means of servicing and stewarding HE is what does the harm.

More coverage from the BBC! Give it a watch to learn what is at stake in our industrial actions. Compulsory redundancies are NOT necessary for the future of our university! In fact, it undermines it. Buildings don't teach and campuses don't do research. We do. #StopTheCuts

@UoNUCU The problem is that nothing that you want is a new in higher education and that's because you want universities and colleges, or rather, you ignorantly assume them as the sole means of serving and stewarding the social good. Just employees on lines with sings. Pathetic.

It's simple: We want a uni that realises buildings can't teach We want a uni that recognises what makes it essential for our global future We want a uni that puts students and workers first Our branch showed up in force on Day 1. And we're not going anywhere.

Once we get to the root of the issue, @MisterMinor suggests choosing an actionable, measurable focus - one idea that will alleviate some of the pain. For example, if a student is acting out because they can't read, choosing a literacy activity to build their confidence. #TEACH25
