UK universities are among the country’s most successful institutions. The fact that successive governments have maintained a fundamentally unsustainable funding model, forcing universities into a slow-motion financial crisis, will go down as a failure of historic proportion
Jonathan Birch@birchlse

UK universities are miraculous. A case in point is the University of Sheffield, which has a total endowment of £59m (about 21x Princeton's per-student endowment) and 6 Nobel prizes. We're losing one of the most cost-effective research juggernauts on Earth.

600 jobs at risk at the University of Nottingham. Nearly 2,700 staff have received at-risk letters this week. This is devastating for our members, the university and the city.

With student A.I. use/abuse now ubiquitous, professors and teachers are killing off take-home essays and papers. Students are writing inside the classroom, often by hand. It's part of the big rethink happening on tech and learning. My new report here: nytimes.com/2026/04/30/us/…
