Why does the list of embarrassing things that acadmics and their institutions seem addicted to, seem to be getting only ever longer and never shorter?
At least over the last 30 odd years I've been watching...

@brembs @lizziegadd The university rankings are such a circus that it isn't even funny. They are an embarrassment act.

I am not sure how to begin to think about the risks we face in the #UK #university: multiple universities are in troubles with thousands of jobs and colleagues's life at risk, there are more than one thing we need fixing here in UK as the model doesn't work anymore and I would agree that gov and the university needs to stop running it as a business, but how?
@kofanchen @albertcardona @lizziegadd
I'd suggest to start by thinking about what a university is supposed to be and start from there.
Easily said 😇
@brembs @albertcardona @lizziegadd I would rather think it is to lobby gov and uni to think like us, we already know what uni is for.

Yes, I agree, but I guess then the problem becomes: who is "we"? Obviously not "everybody"...
