For anyone Dutch-speaking who's interested in #Brexit and the supposed reset in EU-UK relations, here's my two cents for @sampolmaandblad.bsky.social's 'Summer Series' on how the #TCA could be used to promote progressive causes on both sides of the Channel.

These consultancies remind me of Cornish wreckers in the c18th, luring ships onto the rocks. Unis think they can see a lighthouse with harbour, but ooh no it isn't. They thought they were being sold safety, but in fact they've been handed a doomsday device. And they don't even know it! (3/3) /END

By loading all the functions on the centre, you increase the data stress there to intolerable levels, and it collapses. You also ramp up costs that the thinner and thinner 'lower' offer cannot meet. You do quality and reputational harm that is likely impossible to repair. (2/2)

One underreported facet of the Great University Crisis is the contribution of a small number of consultancy firms who recommend: *Centralise functions *Cut small courses *Reduce student options *Abolish loads of joint awards *Chop staff headcount This is *exactly* what you must not do. (1/3)

The university death spiral is everywhere, and for everyone: they're all just on a convoy into the same black hole. Oxbridge, LSE and Imperial excepted, they must all *necessarily and inevitably* end up crushed to the size of an Oxo cube if we go on like this. www.bristol247.com/opinion/your...
