A qualifier: Yes, there are limits (particularly in the UK due to associations' charity status), but some of these are self-imposed. PAs represent thousands of academic workers, are part of global networks and maintain significant resources. These strengths can and must be further utilised.
Paragraph from the BISA statement: 'We recognise that there are limits to what professional associations can achieve in the face of systemic challenges. Letters and statements do not always reverse decisions. Nonetheless, BISA remains committed to defending our discipline, to standing in solidarity with our members, and to working collaboratively across the sector to promote a sustainable, inclusive, and thriving higher education system.'
