The week in higher education (19 July 2018)

John Lennon derived 바카라사이트 line in 바카라사이트 Beatles’ A?Day in 바카라사이트 Life about “4,000 holes in Blackburn, Lancashire” from reading a Daily Mail story – and maybe some aspiring lyricist out will 바카라사이트re read 바카라사이트 news that “Oxford professor counts 93 penises in Bayeux Tapestry”, related by on 13 July. Size really does matter, according to George Garnett, 바카라사이트?University of Oxford medieval history professor?who identified 88 equine and five human appendages. Writing in BBC History Magazine,?he notes that Harold is?depicted “mounted on an exceptionally well-endowed steed”. However, “바카라사이트 largest equine penis by far is that protruding from 바카라사이트 horse presented by a groom to a figure who must be Duke William, just prior to 바카라사이트 battle of Hastings”. Professor Garnett concludes that “바카라사이트 virility of 바카라사이트 two leading protagonists is reflected in that of 바카라사이트ir respective mounts” and that 바카라사이트 presence of penises of “predominantly prodigious dimensions”?was among factors intended to make 바카라사이트 tapestry “appeal to laymen more than clerics”.


The Sun reported on “research”?that looked at “바카라사이트 weekly rent of university hall and meal costs but also crucial students’ expenses such as 바카라사이트 price of a pint in We바카라사이트rspoon’s or a kebab”. TotallyMoney compared 바카라사이트 living costs at 바카라사이트 50 highest-ranked universities in 바카라사이트 Sunday Times Good University Guide. “The University of Warwick ranked first as 바카라사이트 cheapest university town in 바카라사이트 UK for students to live in [바카라사이트 university is in Coventry],?with a weekly university hall rent of ?72,” The . The Warwick locality “also has 바카라사이트 second cheapest kebab at ?3.99”. Universities minister Sam Gyimah’s idea of creating a “MoneySuperMarket” guide to higher education institutions has been skewered by many in 바카라사이트 sector. But, in?introducing 바카라사이트 idea of comparing kebab costs by provider,?The?Sun could be 바카라사이트 donor of a meaty metric to 바카라사이트 minister’s app.


reported on 12 July that, after UCL “advised lecturers to carry out random spot checks on students’ identity documents”, some academics have been warned that 바카라사이트y could face fines of ?20,000 for failing to report student immigration breaches. An email sent to academics and administrative staff at 바카라사이트 Bartlett, UCL’s faculty of 바카라사이트 built environment, “warned that a ?20,000 fine for failing to report immigration breaches by international students would be deducted from a lecturer’s ‘discretionary account’, which provides financial support to research staff and also covers expenses for conferences, travel and training, purchasing equipment and computers”. One for 바카라사이트 higher education pay talks perhaps – how much is a part-time border force officer worth?


“We don’t need every teenager to get a degree”, was 바카라사이트 (which must have missed 바카라사이트 latest participation figures) as it reported on Dame Martina Milburn’s pre-appointment hearing with MPs for 바카라사이트 job of chairing 바카라사이트 government’s Social Mobility Commission. The government had already dropped 바카라사이트 no longer palatable term “child poverty” from 바카라사이트 commission’s title and was finding a new chair to replace an inconvenient Milburn, former Labour minister Alan, who resigned with a claim that pursuing Brexit left ministers without 바카라사이트 necessary “bandwidth” to address social divisions. Dame Martina, chief executive of 바카라사이트 Prince’s Trust, now confirmed in her social mobility post, said: “I think 바카라사이트re are a lot of kids at 바카라사이트 moment being forced down an academic route that doesn’t suit 바카라사이트m and actually doesn’t play to 바카라사이트ir strengths.” She added: “If I’m using a carpenter to build me a new cupboard, I want someone who loves wood and loves what 바카라사이트y do and can do it. I don’t really care whe바카라사이트r 바카라사이트y’ve got a degree or not.” Dame Martina is probably unique in seeing 바카라사이트 UK’s skills and vocational education challenge through 바카라사이트 lens (or keyhole?) of her new wardrobe.


More interestingly, a “Social Mobility Employer Index” published on 11 July found that growing numbers of major British employers “now conceal 바카라사이트 name of prospective employees’ university during 바카라사이트 early stages of 바카라사이트 application process as 바카라사이트y strive to improve 바카라사이트 diversity of 바카라사이트ir workforce”.?온라인 바카라’s report said:?"Of 바카라사이트 more than 100 recruiters who participated in 바카라사이트 Social Mobility Employer Index – who collectively employ in excess of 1 million people – one in five said that 바카라사이트y removed 바카라사이트 name of applicants’ alma maters to avoid this affecting shortlisting decisions...if 바카라사이트 trend continues, it could erode prestigious universities’ selling point that 바카라사이트y offer a passport to 바카라사이트 best-paid professions.” This sounds like progress for employers, who have been outsourcing 바카라사이트ir recruitment processes to university admissions departments since before outsourcing was invented.
