My #HigherEducation hot take today:

#Teaching quality, #GrantCapture, and #ResearchEfficacy are all inversley proportional to the degree of #AdministrativeBurden an #academic is exposed to.

Contemporary #HEIs have, to their detriment, all sacrificed the former on the altar of the latter.

It's almost as if he is planning to use it for nefarious reasons...🤔 #HeIs #WeNeedToRegulateAI

In the UK, we have seen governing bodies, "Executive Search Firms", and UUK almost conspire to hire those inculcated into the worst forms of #ToxicManagerialism to lead #HEIs.

It's a major reason we see the crises in #UKHE at present (along with underfunding).

As @the1752group.bsky.social have long noted, many #HEIs in UK have failed to handle #SexualMisconduct, harassment, and abuse appropriately.

Hallmarks are:
1. Inaction
2. Secrecy
3. Inadequate/inappropriate investigation
4. DARVO
5. Allowing resignation rather than dismissal
6. NDAs
#UKHE

When it comes to #HigherEducation and #HEIs in the UK this point about tech-assisted #Academia and resistance rings disturbingly true.

I'm a #catperson by nature, but I❤️our dog so much sometimes I get overwhelmed & give him a big ol' polar bear hug. I like 2 think he trusts me & is in no way terrified when I lose myself 2 the cuddles, but I have no way of knowing that for sure.

Pause to REF 2029 criteria setting and publication of final guidance – REF 2029

See notification here about a pause to #REF2029 criteria setting: 2029.ref.ac.uk/news/pause-t...

Given the monumental waste of resources that this nonsense costs #HEIs in the UK, whilst #Universities are already under massive cost pressures, it should be abandoned altogether!

If you work in #HigherEducation this toolkit is essential reading.
From 01/08/25 the OfS are adding a new condition of registration ("E6") regulating #HEIs in England on preventing and responding to harassment and sexual misconduct.

#PostGraduate researchers are particularly at risk.

#Academia

In our recent #KnowledgeExchangeCommunity discussion, it became clear that many Ukrainian #HEIs are now prioritising deeper partnerships. Instead of new contacts, it’s about strengthening what’s already in place.

Kudos to #TCD for taking this action. Hopefully other #HEIs will follow suit asap. #IFUT

Three fundamental Qs for #HEIs planning staffing cuts:

1. How much money have you spent on consultants in the last 5 years?

2. To what degree have your management structures expanded in last 10years?

3. How much is being spent on VC vanity projects?
