Board agenda.

Increased challenges for universities demand stronger university governing bodies, say @JaniceKay10, Richard Calvert and @chris_husbands1.

Dear racists. Really sorry but I've actually gotta do some work now, I've just arrived at a venue where I'm giving a talk. Please do keep on making ill-informed comments in my absence - and hope you can come out to play again tomorrow.

[Dr Adam Rutherford @AdamRutherford]

@DavidOlusoga David, you appear to be arguing with idiots on the internet again. That’s my job.

My first day in a new role as Vice Chancellor at University of Plymouth is tomorrow but super to kick the whole thing off meeting some of our fantastic students on a squash court this evening….

This is a very important development. The Behan report is deeply thoughtful and well worth a read, and it makes good sense to pause the commencement of the FOS remit the OFS was about to take on given Behan’s recommendations that the OFS should have a tighter focus.

[Mark Leach @markmleach]

Good call by @bphillipsonMP to halt the free speech bill and probably repeal it. It was a real mess and won't be missed by almost anyone in the sector

This Labour Government understands that partnership is needed to address the challenges schools face.

That’s why we will work with parents, teachers & school staff to break down the barriers to opportunity for every child.

[Bridget Phillipson @bphillipsonMP]

The mess we’ve inherited looks like the aftermath of a Bullingdon Club knees-up, yet the Tories stand by their dismal record.

We will get on with our urgent work to break down the barriers to opportunity for every child, at every stage.

[Bridget Phillipson @bphillipsonMP]

The Tories didn't schedule a King's Speech debate on education, but this topic is just too important to go under the radar.

So yesterday I stepped in to update the House on what we've inherited from the Tories at the Department for Education and my work to fix the mess.

👏 Congratulations to our former CEO, Sir Kevan Collins.

[Prof Becky Francis @BeckyFrancis7]

I know how important the task of the Review will be - to improve educational experience and outcomes, without doing damage or precipitating unintended consequences. I'll be steered by the evidence, and consult widely.

[Tom Watson @tom_watson]

I could weep.

[Nicky King @NickyKingExe]

This is the most important piece of work I've been involved with over many years @UniofExeter. I'm hugely proud of what we are doing, and we have a fabulous team.

How brilliant that Bellingham knew it couldn’t be him. “You’re kidding?”

[Scientists for EU @Scientists4EU]

An actual scientist for Minister of Science?!

It feels as though our nation has just gone up an evolutionary jump. 🙌

Some Bridget Phillipson quotes on HE:

Asked whether Labour would provide a taxpayer-funded bailout to universities: “Some universities do very much appear to be on the brink...I think there are measures that can be taken to stabilise the sector. That will be a day one priority.”
