Nothing ever changes at Cambridge, despite the fine words of the men & women in charge

On tutorials
Over 50% of Oxbridge tutorials are delivered by grad students, post-docs & freelancers, who work for low pay
The real function of tutorials?
Economic ā it trickles some money down to those at the bottom of HE
Brideshead is over, Aloysius
I'm reading about the history of the Oxbridge tutorial system and apparently they're meant to be as small as 1-3 students per tutor? I'm currently running something ostensibly called "tutorials" with 50 students per section.

Unrepresented academic wins at Employment Tribunal against a university represented by KC & Hon Fellow of @StJohnsOx
Nottingham Uni discriminated against Dr Saad on grounds of race
Academics can often succeed without representation as University processes are rarely lawful

Could it be that this is a very 'profitable' model for orthodox recruiters & "sourcing" companies - downplaying your value - so you use mass job boards/CV capture platforms (which our data shows is not a winning strategy to secure work)..? š¤š¤Æ

There's a lot of negative feelings and lack of confidence over CVs/expertise profile among our global community, due to the systemic issues and abuses in the labour market & poor education from institutions for #AltAc career development. This shows how valuable your CV really is!

We keep saying we're a "global community career development resource platform", but what does that mean and are we truly globally accessible (i.e., our platform and resources)?
YES! 23K users since 2022, and growing - come join us!

The collapse of UK universities isnāt inevitable -- itās a political choice
Other countries manage; here, government is actively burning higher education to the ground
Weāre reaching the end of accessible, nationwide research & teaching ā and those in power barely care

Me for @Telegraph (Ā£) on why academics are leaving UK higher ed:
1000s of jobs & courses cut
Pensions cut
Learning politicised
Low paid, precarious work
REF & Kafkaesque bureaucracy
AI undermining teaching and research
Dependence on itnl student fees

"I asked a senior administrator whatās causing the University budget deficit
'Research & teaching,' he said, 'both lose money, not financially viable'
I said, 'Funny, then, we weren't losing money in the past when central administration was half the size' "

This is also why we intend on offering Trauma-informed consultancy to employers/institutions. This kind of thoughtless and callous behaviour is so easily preventable, and begins to look like systemic/structural violence (if not addressed appropriately).

Sounds very similar to my own experience at NTU connected with the murder of one of my best friends in the 1st year. Very traumatic & damaging. Also in Nottingham. HE truly has become soul-less. So sorry this happened to friends & family.

Grace O'Malley-Kumar's belongings were thrown out by Nottingham University after she was murdered by paranoid schizophrenic
This isn't a failure of process -- it's a failure of humanity
Universities must set clear standards of conduct & ethics to staff
