That is a sector in crisis. Simply blaming a tuition fee freeze and nudging fees up with inflation is not a plan. Where is the long-term strategy for higher education?

Out of curiosity, I just ran a few paragraphs from The Butchering Art through an AI checker and it got flagged: 88% AI.

Very honoured to contribute this image to the WHO Global Summit on Traditional Health this week. The summit will bring huge advances to traditional medicine.
Great working w. @yoelitlalim.bsky.social on the historical timeline.
Here viewed by @narendra-modi.bsky.social and the Director of @who.int
Is the study of history relevant for the world today? There was a resounding “Yes!” from all corners of the world gathered in the summit.
It was a great honour to have been invited to the Second WHO Global Summit for Traditional Medicine in Delhi and see the exhibition to which @mstanleybaker.bsky.social and I advised in the real world. (Huge!)
