Today’s HEPI blog is an absolute MUST READ one by @JulianGravatt of @AoC_info. He brings some sense to the topical and important issue of whether UK universities will soon be reclassified by the @ONS and plonked in the public sector.
Are universities really at risk of ending up in the public sector? hepi.ac.uk/2023/03/21/are-un…

A huge loss to humankind. Jonathan was a gentleman. Our sympathies with all who grieve his loss.
Deeply saddened to hear of the death of Jonathan Nicholls, former Chair of the Association of Heads of University Association @AHUAUK and Registrary of Cambridge University. Jonathan was an immense figure in the sector - a true leader, a caring individual and a great role model.
Thank you @dianajbeech - so many issues brought to mind in an hour. Our members will be watching on demand from tomorrow. #bufdgfestival22
Kick-started the week by giving the opening plenary at the 2022 @bufdg Finance Festival, setting the scene with the context, challenges and future of UK HE. Thanks for having me!
