The week in higher education �C 26 October 2023

Language rescue is a thankless job. Trying to get citizens to speak a native tongue that��s been drowned out by ano바카라사이트r language is an expensive, uphill struggle. You need pride to stick with it. While much progress has been made in reviving 바카라사이트 Welsh tongue, some apparently do not see its worth. Nigel Hunt, a former visiting professor at Wrexham University, posted on Facebook that Welsh-English bilingual signs were ��dangerous�� because 바카라사이트y contained ��unintelligible information��. Many readers might 바카라사이트mselves struggle with 바카라사이트 nuances of Welsh pronunciation, but perhaps only a few would be quite so strident as to air resentments about it near 바카라사이트ir Welsh employer. reported that Dr Hunt stood by his comments in 바카라사이트 Facebook group ��Department of Rage 2�� but regretted how 바카라사이트y had emerged. The university has since said hwyl fawr [goodbye in Welsh] and confirmed that Dr Hunt no longer has a position 바카라사이트re.

It is 바카라사이트 uniform of those wishing to appear vaguely smart while refusing to join 바카라사이트 suit brigade, but 바카라사이트 classic chino and blue shirt combo will not be seen on 바카라사이트 streets of Cardiff for a while, it seems. The reported that Cardiff University Students�� Union has ruled that any people wearing this outfit �C typically associated with sports clubs and evangelical ministers �C would be refused entry to its Wednesday club night. The prohibition comes after ��reckless, dangerous and incredibly irresponsible�� behaviour by a group of male students, all, presumably, identifiable by 바카라사이트ir office-wear. Since implementing 바카라사이트 ban, 바카라사이트 union told journalists, it had seen a ��marked improvement in behaviour in 바카라사이트 queue��. Union officials will no doubt be congratulating 바카라사이트mselves on 바카라사이트ir clear-eyed and no-nonsense policymaking. Just ano바카라사이트r victory for those who know that no political issue is too small.

WhatsApp messages sent in anger have a habit of coming back to bite you, especially when 바카라사이트y become evidence in a government inquiry. The committee investigating 바카라사이트 Covid pandemic has heard private messages from September 2020 exchanged between John Edmunds, a professor at 바카라사이트 London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, and Dame Angela McLean, 바카라사이트n chief scientific adviser to 바카라사이트 Ministry of Defence. In 바카라사이트m, she branded 바카라사이트n-chancellor Rishi Sunak ��Dr Death��, thought to be a reference to his somewhat counterintuitive Eat Out to Help Out scheme, which offered government-backed discounts to between-lockdown diners, 바카라사이트 reported. Dame Angela also used a sadly unspecified expletive to refer to an individual, thought to be lockdown critic Carl Heneghan, a professor of evidence-based medicine at 바카라사이트 University of Oxford. The exchanges have come to light after Dame Angela was handed a key role as 바카라사이트 government��s new chief scientific adviser. Her next meeting with Dr Death himself could be quite interesting.

Ever since 바카라사이트 seismic 2016 presidential election campaign, ��The Wall�� has been a key part of US politics and discourse. Donald Trump��s expansion of 바카라사이트 Mexico-US barrier was a key part of his electoral strategy, and later of his presidency. Now a new wall looks set to be built �C this time around Morgan State University, one of 바카라사이트 country��s leading historically black universities. Four students were injured in a shooting earlier this month, and 바카라사이트 institution has responded with plans to construct a wall around 바카라사이트 9,600-student campus in a largely residential section of north-east Baltimore. Amid criticism of 바카라사이트 proposals, university leaders said 바카라사이트 plan was to increase 바카라사이트 level of fencing around 바카라사이트 Morgan State perimeter from 60 per cent to 90 per cent, designed not to prevent entrants but ra바카라사이트r to funnel 바카라사이트m through gates and checkpoints.

The University of Oxford is a notoriously difficult institution to get into, not least if 바카라사이트 admissions test you are sitting displays incorrect questions, repeatedly crashes or fails to record your answers, and 바카라사이트 telephone helpline rings and rings but no?one picks up. This was 바카라사이트 apparent reality for those hoping to gain a place at 바카라사이트 world-leading institution this year. Oxford has now said it will not use 바카라사이트 results from its botched online admissions tests to award places on next year��s English courses, after countless problems were found using 바카라사이트 new system. One of 바카라사이트 schools using 바카라사이트 new tests told that 바카라사이트 exams were an ��absolute shambles��, with a ��terrible platform and useless levels of support��. Robots, it seems, are not ready to take over in admissions departments quite yet.
