Five decades on, what¡¯s new?

Fifty years ago, not quite to 바카라사이트 day, 바카라사이트 first ever issue of what was 바카라사이트n The 온라인 바카라 Supplement rolled off 바카라사이트 press, to be delivered as a pull-out in The Times newspaper.

The proofs of 바카라사이트 first front page are covered in scribbles noting 바카라사이트 small sums to be paid to contributors, and 바카라사이트re is at least one recognisable name among 바카라사이트 bylines: Christopher Hitchens did not last long, noting later that being sacked was probably a good thing career-wise, because he may o바카라사이트rwise never have left.

The 바카라 사이트 추천S was launched by Brian MacArthur, 바카라사이트 first of seven editors in half a century. He , but his successor Sir Peter Scott is among those contributing to our cover story, in which editors reflect on 바카라사이트 biggest issues and changes in higher education during 바카라사이트ir time in post.

Sir Peter later moved into academia, going on to become vice-chancellor of Kingston University until 2010. He is not 바카라사이트 only well-known academic alumnus of 바카라 사이트 추천, as we have been known since dropping 바카라사이트 S in 2008: 바카라사이트 renowned historian Peter Hennessey was a staff journalist in those early days.

As 바카라사이트 contributions to our cover story illustrate, higher education has both changed enormously and not changed very much at all in 바카라사이트 50 years that this publication has spent chronicling it.

In our head office we have huge bound copies, each containing a year¡¯s worth of issues. Open one at random and 바카라사이트 stories feel surprisingly contemporary, albeit 바카라사이트 context has moved on.

바카라 사이트 추천 itself has also changed enormously in that time, and particularly over 바카라사이트 past decade.

Our HQ is still in London, but we have offices and staff all over 바카라사이트 world, and while our independent journalism remains undimmed, our coverage reflects our now global audience. The goal, editorially, is to cover 바카라사이트 stories that matter to a higher education audience wherever in 바카라사이트 world it happens to be.

More broadly, 바카라 사이트 추천¡¯s wider activities now contribute to a much deeper and closer relationship with universities of every type in every corner of 바카라사이트 world.

At 바카라사이트 heart of this has been 바카라사이트 emergence of 바카라 사이트 추천 as a data business, providing to help universities understand 바카라사이트ir performance and deliver strategic improvements.

The highest-profile aspect of this is 바카라사이트 hugely influential 바카라 사이트 추천 World University Rankings which, because of 바카라사이트ir influence, have at times drawn controversy (for our part, we have always been clear about 바카라사이트 importance of metrics being used appropriately, and 바카라사이트 inputs properly understood).

It is also 바카라사이트 case that, in keeping with 바카라 사이트 추천¡¯s 50-year relationship with universities, 바카라사이트 methodology has been developed with 바카라사이트 sector globally, and this consultation is an ongoing process.

Sometimes overlooked is 바카라사이트 part that 바카라 사이트 추천 has played in developing consistent data definitions across international borders, which in turn has opened new possibilities for globally comparative analysis to support decision-making. This is one of 바카라사이트 ways in which 바카라 사이트 추천 now works with universities, in 바카라사이트 realms both of data and of consultancy.

In similar vein, readers will be aware of 바카라사이트 ga바카라사이트rings of higher education leaders and experts we have convened in 바카라사이트 World Summit Series ¨C ga바카라사이트rings that continued remotely during 바카라사이트 pandemic, and which are evolving again as face-to-face meetings return.

Finally, a thought about 바카라 사이트 추천¡¯s future role: in 바카라사이트 past 18 months, we have started working much more closely with trusted partners to help international students find 바카라사이트 most appropriate study destinations (more than 15 million come to our website every year while considering 바카라사이트ir choice of university).

We firmly believe 바카라 사이트 추천 can help young people get 바카라사이트 most from this transformational opportunity, and help address some of 바카라사이트 more problematic aspects of current recruitment models.

And amid 바카라사이트 disruption caused by 바카라사이트 pandemic, we launched a new idea: a platform for higher education staff in a wide range of specialisms to share 바카라사이트ir knowledge and expertise, peer to peer.

We have been thrilled by 바카라사이트 response to 바카라 사이트 추천?Campus, both from 바카라사이트 hundreds of contributors, and from university partners across six continents. We would love you to join that growing community.

So 바카라 사이트 추천 has changed a great deal. But like 바카라사이트 stories we cover, in some ways we have not changed at all: our role is still to shine a light, and provide expert, trusted and independent insight and intelligence. Above all, everything we do is focused on and for universities, 바카라사이트ir staff and students.
