Universities

On the ups, downs and deeper downs of academic life

The administrative class in UK higher education is bloated, overpaid and arrogant

An architect who makes a virtue of the laconic

The public are reading academic output, and they don’t like what they see

The University of Nottingham and Nottingham Trent should celebrate their historic donors, not castigate them

Confused thinking and confusing prose has led to a reversible decline

Students and academics have the responsibility to speak their minds

Everybody is to blame for the declining standards in universities

Violations of academic freedom are endangering the progress of knowledge and the pursuit of truth
