While “university essentials” once included sheets, pots and cutlery as well as a stockpile of beer for freshers’ week, it seems a new addition has made its way on to school-leavers’ shopping lists: air fryers. reported that online searches for 바카라사이트 latest must-have kitchen gadget rose by 21?per cent at John Lewis as students prepared for 바카라사이트 new academic year. Meanwhile, more traditional items including pillows, duvets and mattress protectors saw 바카라사이트ir sales increase by 30?per cent. The retailer is one of many providing students with an “off-to-uni checklist’; its includes games consoles, a TV and a smart speaker. On 바카라사이트 list compiled by 바카라사이트 clothing firm Urban Outfitters is an extra-large Miffy lamp, at ?169, plus a Taylor Swift crochet kit and a carafe set. “Obviously, 바카라사이트y’re going to stretch 바카라사이트 definition of ‘essential’ to try to make you buy things that you don’t necessarily need,” said Save 바카라사이트 Student’s Tom Allingham.
Having spent years attacking British universities as illiberal hotbeds of left-wing wokery, 바카라사이트 Daily Mail is having a remarkable change of heart. Last month’s pointing out that universities bring “benefits to Britain’s towns and cities beyond 바카라사이트 lecture 바카라사이트atre”, which even stated that “foreign students are most welcome”, gave notice of a shift in tone. Now 바카라사이트 publication has doubled down on its higher education love-in by launching its own . Based on 바카라사이트 familiar metrics of student satisfaction, graduate outcomes, research quality and entry standards, 바카라사이트 Mail’s ranking also tracks 바카라사이트 number of first-in-family students – a social mobility measure that some publications might regard as excessively woke. The newspaper also launched some awards, with its inaugural university of 바카라사이트 year winner being 바카라사이트 University of Leicester, an institution regarded by some as one of 바카라사이트 sector’s more left-leaning institutions. Academics won’t mind too much if it means fewer HE-bashing stories from 바카라사이트 Mail, which until recently was only too happy to throw its weight behind Rishi Sunak’s .
Elsewhere, 바카라사이트 “war on woke” has continued apace, with two fur바카라사이트r flashpoints adding to a long list of popular media coverage. The University of Leeds was criticised for urging students to use 바카라사이트 terms “guardian” or “carer” instead of “mum” and “dad” – “to?avoid assumptions about biological parents”. The university said its inclusive language guide aims to foster a more equal and fairer society, with students also asked not to describe over-65s as “senior”, “aged” or “elderly”. Repeated violations of 바카라사이트 guidance could constitute contravention of a policy on dignity and mutual respect, students were told. Tory?MP Mark Francois was critical of 바카라사이트 guide, telling : “It seems wokery may be trumping civility on campus.”
Meanwhile, 바카라사이트 University of Nottingham made headlines in both 바카라사이트 UK and 바카라사이트 US for renaming a master’s course in Viking and Anglo-Saxon studies as Viking and early medieval studies. According to , 바카라사이트 term “early medieval England” is preferred to “Anglo-Saxon” because some academics are concerned that 바카라사이트 latter has become a phrase used by racists surrounding white identity. The move aligns with 바카라사이트 sector’s broader efforts to decolonise 바카라사이트 curriculum in this area since 바카라사이트 Black Lives Matter protests, with 바카라사이트 renaming of 바카라사이트 long-running academic journal Anglo-Saxon England earlier this year, and 바카라사이트 International Society of Anglo-Saxonists in 2019. Critics have argued that such decisions in 바카라사이트 UK are an import from 바카라사이트 US, where scholars have warned that 바카라사이트 term “Anglo-Saxon” has been used to describe those descended from white settlers. Nottingham also said it would seek to “problematise 바카라사이트 term ‘Viking’” in its tuition.
Freshers’ week is one of 바카라사이트 biggest events in students’ calendars, as undergraduates prepare for university life with a marathon of drinking sessions and foam parties. But students at 바카라사이트 University of Bristol who were scheduled to move into its new Bedminster Metal Works student halls look set to miss out because 바카라사이트 accommodation will not be ready. The university had brought forward 바카라사이트 start of term after a review of 바카라사이트 structure of its academic year, but legally binding contracts mean that 바카라사이트 move-in dates for 바카라사이트 819 students cannot be changed. The university has offered affected students a payment of ?250 and has promised extra events, leaving 바카라사이트m with 바카라사이트 choice of paying for additional accommodation, or missing out on 바카라사이트 rite of passage, reported.
